Serves 8

Ingredients

Angel food cake
1 (10-inch) cake, cut into cubes
Mixed berries
4 cups (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries, fresh)
Vanilla pudding mix
1 (3.4-ounce) package
Milk
2 cups (for pudding)
Whipped cream
2 cups (homemade or store-bought)
Fresh mint leaves
for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, prepare the vanilla pudding according to package instructions by whisking together the pudding mix and milk. Refrigerate for at least 5 minutes until thickened.
  2. In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, layer half of the angel food cake cubes on the bottom.
  3. Add a layer of mixed berries (about 2 cups) on top of the cake cubes.
  4. Spoon half of the prepared vanilla pudding over the berries, spreading it gently to cover.
  5. Repeat the layers with the remaining angel food cake cubes, followed by the rest of the mixed berries and vanilla pudding.
  6. Top the trifle with a generous layer of whipped cream, smoothing it out for an elegant finish.
  7. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
  8. Cover and refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.

Tips

  • 💡 For a twist, try adding a layer of lemon curd between the pudding and berries for a citrusy zing.
  • 💡 You can substitute the mixed berries with seasonal fruits like peaches or mango for a different flavor profile.
  • 💡 Feel free to use store-bought angel food cake or make your own for a fresher taste.
