Wash, peel, and slice the fresh peaches into thin wedges.
In a medium-sized bowl, toss the peach slices with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let them sit for 10 minutes to macerate and release their juices.
Cut the sponge cake into 1-inch cubes. If using liqueur, sprinkle the cubes lightly with Amaretto or peach liqueur for added flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
In a trifle dish or a large glass bowl, begin layering the ingredients. Start with a layer of sponge cake cubes at the bottom.
Drizzle a few spoonfuls of the peach juices over the cake layer (from the macerated peaches).
Add a layer of macerated peaches over the cake layer.
Spread a generous layer of vanilla custard over the peaches.
Spoon a layer of whipped cream over the custard, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Repeat the layering process (sponge cake, peach juices, peaches, custard, whipped cream) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on the top.
Garnish the trifle with any remaining peach slices, mint leaves, or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful dessert!
