Description
A light and refreshing trifle made with soft angel food cake and fresh berries, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) angel food cake, cubed
- 3 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup seedless strawberry jam (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the fruit: hull and slice the strawberries. Measure the blueberries and raspberries. Put all berries in a bowl. Add granulated sugar and lemon juice. Toss and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes to get juicy.
- Make the pudding: whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until thick. Chill while doing the next steps.
- Whip the cream: chill your mixing bowl. Beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft to medium stiff peaks form.
- Optional jam drizzle: warm the strawberry jam gently in the microwave or on the stove until pourable.
- Cube the cake: cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes.
- Build the first layer: in a trifle bowl, place a single layer of cake cubes, spoon some pudding over, then add a handful of berries and some juices.
- Repeat layers: repeat cake, pudding, and berries for as many layers as desired.
- Finish and garnish: spread or pipe the remaining whipped cream over the top and decorate with whole berries, jam, and mint leaves.
- Chill and serve: cover and chill the trifle for at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve cold.
Notes
For best taste, use ripe berries and chill your bowl for whipped cream. Serve in clear cups for individual portions.
