A traditional “trifle” is made with fruit, a thin layer of ladyfingers that have been soaked in sherry or wine, custard, and topped off with whipped cream. My multi-level delicacy is a little different from the recipe created by the British in the mid-1700s. In usual fashion, I’ve given this a tweak here and there.

Making my Strawberry Lemon Cookie Trifle:

This simple recipe begins by crushing the lemon snap cookies. You can use a roller or place your cookies in a zip lock bag and crush them by hand.
