- Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Chill the trifle for at least 1–2 hours before serving to let the layers set.
- You can swap Twinkies for pound cake or angel food cake if preferred.
- This dessert is best enjoyed within 3 days as the cake will start to soften.
