Customize this pretty dessert with whatever you have on hand: Swap in plums or bananas for the peaches, try chocolate whipped topping instead of regular, or use store-bought cornbread or angel food cake to slash time. If you don’t have a trifle dish, divide all the ingredients between 12 glass dessert bowls or martini glasses.
