How to Make Peach Melba Trifle

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and water until smooth.
  2. Add the instant vanilla pudding mix and beat with a wire whisk until well blended and thickened.
  3. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow the pudding to set slightly.
  4. Gently fold in the whipped cream and 1 tablespoon of sherry.
  5. In a 2-quart glass serving bowl or trifle dish, layer 2 cups of the cubed cake.
  6. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of sherry.
  7. Top with half of the peach slices, 1/4 cup of the preserves, and half of the pudding mixture.
  8. Repeat the layers with the remaining cake, sherry, peaches, and pudding.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  10. Before serving, garnish with slivered almonds and additional preserves, if desired.
