Ingredients
– 1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
– 1 pound blueberries
– 1 pound angel food cake or pound cake, cut into cubes
– 2 cups heavy whipping cream
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
– 2 cups milk
– Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Red White and Blue Trifle:
1. Prepare the Berries: Wash and slice the strawberries. Rinse the blueberries and set both aside.
2. Make the Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened. Set aside.
3. Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
4. Combine Cream and Pudding: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding until well combined. This will create a light and fluffy mixture.
5. Layer the Trifle: In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, start with a layer of cake cubes at the bottom.
6. Add Pudding Mixture: Spoon a layer of the pudding and whipped cream mixture over the cake.
7. Add Berries: Layer half of the sliced strawberries and blueberries over the cream mixture.
8. Repeat Layers: Repeat the process, adding another layer of cake, followed by the pudding mixture, and then the remaining berries.
9. Finish with Cream: Top with any leftover whipped cream mixture and arrange a few fresh berries on top for decoration.
10. Chill: Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld.
