This decadent dessert is a breeze to make. Trifles are a classic British dessert, but since they require minimal cooking, they are an ideal option for entertaining since they are easy—this one takes just 15 minutes to prepare—and you can make it a day ahead. This version uses angel food cake softened with espresso, and then the cake is covered in chocolate pudding and topped with whipped topping and a sprinkling of toffee bits. Just make sure the angel food cake it cooled and dried out a bit before making the trifle so that they can soak up the espresso.
