Individual Strawberry Trifle image

I love trifles because everyone is so impressed with the way they look. This one is great for after a holiday dinner or for New Years Eve or to celebrate Tuesday. I really feel it is a festive dessert. This look very pretty in highball or cocktail glasses. I found it on Food Network.
