Pina Colada Trifle

I love to lighten up desserts, this one is especially comforting in stormy weather like we are having currently and thinking forward to the calmer warm days ahead.  A favorite beverage in the summertime is Pina Colada, so voila...behold the "Pina Colada Trifle".  Hope you enjoy making and serving this to your friends and family as much as I do.
