For the perfect trifle, ensure the ladyfinger biscuits are slightly moistened with a bit of the jelly to soften them. Toast the almond flakes until just golden to enhance their nutty flavor. Layer the trifle just before serving to maintain the fresh texture of the cream and the crunch of the almond flakes.
