Instructions

• Place sugar, cornstarch, salt and milk into a small saucepan, whisk and bring to a simmer.
• Stir until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk a small amount of the milk mixture into the beaten yolks and whisk the mixture back into the hot milk mixture.
• Whisk until the pudding is just thick enough to sit onto top of itself.
• Stir in the butter and vanilla until fully combined.
• Push the pudding through a fine sieve strainer and set aside to cool.
• While the pudding cools, place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Pour the pudding into a bowl and stir the strawberries and a few drops of pink food coloring.
• Stir together until fully combined.
• Pour the strawberry pudding mixture into the bottom of the trifle dish and level off until smooth.
• Next, layer ½ the cubed pound cake over the pudding and top with ½ of whipped cream.
• Pour more of the pudding over the whipped cream and top with remaining pound cake and whipped cream.
• Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
• Finish with edible glitter, if desired and serve.
