Description
A festive and delicious dessert featuring layers of vanilla pudding, pound cake, fresh berries, and whipped cream, perfect for patriotic celebrations.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla pudding mix
- 4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pound pound cake, cut into cubes
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to thicken.
- In a large trifle dish or a glass bowl, layer half of the pound cake cubes at the bottom.
- Spoon half of the prepared vanilla pudding over the pound cake layer.
- Add a layer of half of the sliced strawberries and half of the blueberries on top of the pudding.
- Spread half of the whipped cream over the berry layer.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining pound cake, pudding, strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream.
- Finish with a dollop of whipped cream on top and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
- Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, substitute chocolate pudding for vanilla pudding.
- You can also add a layer of chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips between the layers for extra flavor.
- For a lighter version, use angel food cake instead of pound cake and sugar-free pudding mix.
