  4. Add a layer of half of the sliced strawberries and half of the blueberries on top of the pudding.
  5. Spread half of the whipped cream over the berry layer.
  6. Repeat the layers with the remaining pound cake, pudding, strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream.
  7. Finish with a dollop of whipped cream on top and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  8. Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • 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.
