Sometimes you just need to treat yourself—and this dessert proves you can do it without fuss or guilt. Creamy, coffee-kissed layers of pudding, pound cake, and whipped topping make this trifle look like something from a bakery window… yet it’s simple enough to whip up in minutes and light enough to enjoy every once in a while.
