Servings: persons

about 36 ladyfinger (2 large packages)
¼ cup sherry wine (or more, to taste)
1 cup red wine, cold (or white wine or rose, depending on the flavor of jell-o gelatin you are using)
1 cup boiling water
1 (3 ounce) pckg. raspberry flavor Jello gelatin (or your favorite flavor)
2 (16 ounce) cans peach slices, drained (or your favorite fruit, see note)
2 cups prepared vanilla pudding (or your favorite flavor)
1 vanilla bean, scraped (optional)
1 pint heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
colored sprinkles, to decorate (optional)

1
Line the bottom and sides of a trifle dish or large cut-glass bowl with the ladyfingers.
2
Sprinkle them generously with the sherry.
3
Prepare the jell-o gelatin as per package directions, using red wine for the cold water.
4
Refrigerate for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until thickened.
5
Then stir in half of the peaches.
6
Pour into trifle dish and refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.
7
Meanwhile prepare the pudding according to package directions (at this stage you can add the vanilla bean seeds, if desired); spread over the gelatin.
8
Arrange the remaining sliced peaches on top of the pudding.
9
Whip the cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla (for best results, use a chilled bowl and beaters) until stiff peaks form; spread evenly on top of the trifle.
10
Cover and chill until serving time (up to 24 hours).
11
Just before serving, sprinkle the top with colored nonpareils, if desired.

Note: Do not use fresh or frozen pineapple or certain other fresh or frozen fruits, as the enzymes will prevent the gelatin from setting properly--canned fruits are fine (see the side of the jell-o gelatin box for a list of fruits not to use).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
