Tips:

I am using my favorite fruits, you can you can your favorites. Other fruit that will go well are peaches, apples, nectarines, pairs, melons, kiwi etc.
Can we use fruit cocktail ?? instead of fresh fruits …
is it ok if we don’t use sour cream?
Dear Manjula Aunty, I have been looking for this recipe for a long time, thank you! You’re the best!!
If you want you can try adding different flavors of ice creams too…that way you can make strawberry/vanilla/coffee flavored fruit cream.

Hi Kiran,
Nice idea, my friend added white chocolate chips and vanilla cake ( all in layers) along with jelly ( no custard) to make a super trifle.The rest of the recipe is like Manjula’s. Simply yum! The white chocolate chips get chilled and provide a nice crunch. You’ve got to try it!!
i want know wat is sour cream…
Just Google “sour cream”. Easier that way.
can we follow this recipe with tropical or any other canned fruit.?
Yep u can add any fruits
hi aunty,
i want to know what is the substitute of cool whip, i am in UK
here v get whipped cream and double thich cream
Waiting for ur reply
Take care
kanika
Cool Whip is sweetened whipped cream. Use in the UK whatever they put on the top of desserts. Cool Whip is just a company name.
Hey Kanika,
Try buying the double cream and then whipping it yourself using the blender till you get a thick consistency. The whipping cream that you get in the shops is far too thin and doesn’t match the consistency of Cool Whip (I’ve used both cool whip and double cream)
Hope this helps!
