Ingredients
- 1 angel food cake or cake mix plus baking ingredients
- 1 3.4- ounce instant cheesecake pudding or vanilla pudding
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 tub ( 8 ounce) Cool Whip divided
- 2 ½ cups fresh strawberries chopped into small pieces
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- whole berries strawberries, blueberries and raspberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the angel food cake. If making homemade bake them in 8-inch pans to layer. If using store-bought, cut it into small bite-sized pieces or shape it into 1-inch layers by slicing it horizontally.
- In a large bowl add instant pudding mix and milk and beat until it starts to thicken with a hand mixer.
- Fold in half a tub of Cool Whip and set aside.
- To layer the trifle start with a layer of angel food cake. If necessary, trim the edges of the cake to fit your dish.
- Next add half of the pudding mix and layer smoothly (about 1 ½ cups) followed by the chopped strawberries.
- Add the second cake layer, the rest of the pudding, and then the blueberries.
- Finally top with the final layer of Cool Whip and decorate the top with berries.
- Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes
- Prep all the elements for the layers before assembling the trifle.
- Use a serrated knife when cutting angel food cake for smoother cuts.
- Let prepared trifle sit covered in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. This gives the flavors a chance to meld.
- Make sure your trifle layers are as level as possible and visible through the bowl. The sequence should be one cake, half of the pudding mixture (about 1 ½ cups), then the chopped strawberries. Then repeat with a second cake, the remaining pudding mixture, and blueberries. Last, top with the rest of the Cool Whip and decorate with fresh berries.
