Trifles are a great dessert option because they're fun to make, can be prepared ahead of time, and serve a large crowd of 18 to 22 people. The basic components of a trifle are cake, pudding, and cream, layered and chilled, making it easily adaptable to various flavor combinations. This particular trifle is inspired by malt ball Easter egg candies and incorporates malt flavor in every layer. The dessert is impressive and delicious, earning "wow" reactions from those who see it, and can be customized with different flavors and ingredients, such as using brownies instead of cake.
