Berry Trifle
Description
This Berry Trifle begins by preparing a vanilla pudding with instant mix and cold milk. The pudding is combined with a whipped cream cheese mixture sweetened with powdered sugar, then folded together with Cool Whip to form a light, creamy base. Angel food cake cubes provide an airy and sweet structure that absorbs some moisture without becoming soggy.
Fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries are layered between the cake and pudding components, adding bursts of juicy sweetness and a contrast of colors. The dessert is assembled in layers and topped decoratively with additional berries before being refrigerated to meld flavors.
It is recommended to serve the trifle within 24 hours to maintain the best texture and taste as the cake softens over time. The components provide a balance of creamy, fruity, and cakey textures for a summery dessert offering.
Ingredients
- 1 angel food cake cut into cubes
- 3.4 ounce instant vanilla pudding mix box
- 2 cups milk cold
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- 2 pints blueberries rinsed
- 2 pints strawberries rinsed, hulled and sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mix with the milk and whisk for two minutes; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar. Once all of the sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to medium and beat for 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Add the prepared pudding to the cream cheese mixture and gently fold and stir with a rubber spatula until completely combined. Add the Cool Whip to the bowl and fold it into the mixture until no white streaks remain.
- To assemble the trifle, alternate layers of angel food cake, blueberries, the pudding mixture, strawberries and so on, until you get the top. Add a final layer of the pudding mixture, then arrange the remaining strawberries and blueberries in a decorative pattern. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This is best served within 24 hours of making it, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Nutritional values provided apply per serving when the trifle is portioned accordingly.
