Tips and Hacks:

Here are a few tips I personally follow when making this decadent Banoffee Trifle and you should too:

1. Try to make the caramel sauce 12-24 hours before you start preparing the dessert and let it chill in the refrigerator for a while.

2. Use deep dishes for trifles as these allow you to have more layers according to your preference.

3. Refrigerate for 30 mins to 2 hours after you set the base of crumbs.

4. Using a glass dish might help if you want to showcase the beautiful layers of your banoffee trifle.
