I made this recipe after being asked to bring a dessert at the last minute to a family gathering. I made it in 15 minutes! It was a huge hit! I followed the recipe for the most part but I used a pound cake from my grocery store's bakery section. I also added a light layer of frozen whipped topping, thawed. I didn't have raspberry jam so I used boysenberry instead. Using the refrigerated prepared vanilla pudding cups helped with making this so quickly.
One of my family members loved the rum sauce so much, she said it tasted like a butterscotch hard candy.
I know I will be asked to make this recipe again and again.

I had this recipe at a friends house and just had to make it. I used the French vanilla instant pudding, not the cup kind and I used real rum. I put both raspberry's and blueberry's on top. I know you should use custard for a real trifle, but this is designed to be easy and quick, right? Just Enjoy!

To me this is not really a trifle. A trifle needs time for the flavors to blend and come together. Throwing some cubed pound cake, jam and store-bought pudding together does not a trifle make. I think I'll stick to the traditional English trifle recipe handed down from my mom.

For visual appeal 5 stars. Otherwise, way too sweet. Raspberry jam jells up and is very sweet. I'd try another trifle recipe, but presented same way.

Add a splash of Chambord Liqueur on top -- oh so decadent!

I loved this recipe. I made it for a special dinner with some old friends, and it went over very well. The rum extract is wonderful, but if you do not like that taste, use raspberry.

Really good and quite simple to make. It has many different flavors in it. I found that the addition of strawberries on top instead of raspberries was very good as well. Very rich.
