I literally spent 30-40 minutes putting it together and I was taking pictures. You could probably get it done in 30 minutes, but do let me know if you beat me and set any new records.
Ingredients for Berry Trifle:
2 cups (1 pint) Heavy Whipping Cream, very cold 2 (12 oz) angel food cake blocks (I purchased mine at Fred Meyer; $3 each) 1 cup cold milk (any kind, but I used whole milk) 5.1 oz package instant vanilla pudding 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, refrigerated 2 lbs berries (you could probably use stone fruit too, here’s what I used): – 1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced – 16 oz bag frozen mixed berries, partially thawed in the refrigerator Strawberry Fruit Glaze (sold in any grocery store next to the fresh berries)
What you’ll need for Berry Trifle:
A Trifle Bowl, or any bowl that has tall, clear glass sides
How to Make this Easy Berry Trifle:
For the Cream:
- Using electric mixer, beat cold whipping cream on the highest speed for about 3 minutes or until fluffy and stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Whisk 1 cup milk together with instant pudding until well blended, then whisk in 1 can refrigerated condensed milk until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream and refrigerate until ready to use.
Assembling Your Berry Trifle:
- Chop your angel food cake into 1″ cubes and place 1/3 of them into the bottom of your Trifle Bowl.
- Add 1/3 of your cream and spread around somewhat evenly (it doesn’t have to be perfect!)
- Add 1/4 of your fresh/frozen fruit. I thought it looked pretty to put the strawberries around around on the walls of the bowl, but you can do it any way you want to.
- Spread a thin layer of glaze over the fruit.
- Repeat steps 1-4 until you have 3 layers of cake.
- Arrange your remaining fruit over the top of your cake (you’ll have the most fruit for the top since you’ll probably want to make it look extra fancy) and brush a thin layer of glaze over the fruit (p.s. the glaze can be omitted all-together if you are serving the cake the same day, but it preserves and keeps your fruit pretty if you want to serve it the next day.
