YUM! I think the key to this is the homemade custard stuff. Much better than pudding! LOVED it!

Delicious - I might make more of the custard next time. It was light and fluffy and everyone loved it.

I've made this trifle 4 times, now. Everyone loves it and asks for the recipe! I use "not from concentrate" OJ and I also add about a teaspoon of orange zest to the egg mix. I have added dark chocolate which is also delicious. Once, I even found a chocolate angel food cake to add to it.

I wish that the recipe would specify that the Orange juice was concentrate, and not just juice.

Very good! I used 1/4 cup of orange juice concentrate - just the right amount of orange flavor. I also grated dark chocolate on both layers. Will make this again for sure!

We liked this recipe but I made instant vanilla pudding and added orange extract to that, then added that into orange juice egg mixture. It disappeared in one day so I know it was well liked.

This trifle was only O.K. I even added some chocolate in the recipe as some other readers recommended and it still wasn't anything anyone liked or asked for seconds. It was very bland.

I made this for a ladies' gathering. It was well received, and one lady asked for the recipe, but while it is a nice recipe, it just isn't orang-y enough for me. I am considering trying it again and either adding some orange extract to the "custard" or perhaps using the OJ in a more condensed form. I used real whipped cream, and it wasn't overly sweet. Thanks for a nice recipe.

I made this trifle for Easter dinner for my family. Everyone really enjoyed it and commented on the nice orange flavor. I will make this again but cut down on the sugar as I thought the custard was too sweet. Also instead of fresh whipped cream I used cool whip. Worked great! Yummy

I loved this recipe. It was a big hit at our Easter dinner. Used Cool Whip, added fresh raspberries and used more orange juice in the mix. Yummy

This was easy to make and rather fun to put together, not much work for such a great tasting dessert that my family loved. Just made my second one for Easter dinner.

Wow, I was hesitant to try this because it was not yet rated but I am so glad I did! I made a couple of changes, not because of the taste, but I was making it for my Aunt who loves chocolate and orange together. I made it as the recipe states and added some grated Terry's Chocolate Orange on top of the cake layers and garnished the top with chocolate orange sections and mandarin sections. You could go a step further and use chocolate cake instead of the angel food cake but nothing says spring like angel food cake so i used it anyway. What a refreshing dessert and a nice change from the traditional trifle i have to make my husband since he is British. Great recipe!!! I wish we had taken a picture but it was eaten up so fast I didn't get a chance.
