Instructions
1. Wash and prepare the fresh cherries by pitting and halving them. Clean the blueberries and set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, use a whisk or handheld mixer to whip the chilled cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat. Place the whipped cream in the refrigerator to keep it chilled.

6. Add a layer of cherries and blueberries on top of the jam, ensuring even distribution.
7. Pour a layer of custard over the fruits to cover them completely.
8. Repeat the layers, starting again with sponge cake, jam, fruits, and custard until the trifle dish or glasses are filled to your desired height. Leave space for the whipped cream topping.
9. Top the trifle with the whipped cream, spreading it evenly or piping it decoratively using a piping bag.
10. Sprinkle toasted almond flakes on top for a crunchy garnish.
11. Add a few fresh mint leaves and extra cherries or blueberries for decoration.
12. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
