1-Gathering and Prepping Your Ingredients: First, wash and prepare all summer fruits by slicing larger pieces like strawberries for even layering; set aside. This step ensures everything mixes well and looks appealing. Then, prepare the vanilla custard or plant-based pudding according to package instructions; allow to cool for better texture.

2-Whipping and Layering: Next, whip the cream or coconut cream until fluffy, keeping it chilled to maintain its light consistency. Now, layer the trifle by placing the crisp ladyfingers at the bottom of the serving dish; they absorb the flavors beautifully. Add a layer of the raspberry jam mixture over the ladyfingers to lock in that sweet tang.

3-Building the Full Trifle: Continue with a layer of custard or pudding over the jam, followed by a generous sprinkle of mixed summer fruits like sliced strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Top with whipped cream for that creamy finish, and repeat the layers as desired for a more decadent treat. Finally, chill the assembled trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let the flavors blend together seamlessly.
