Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Jello (any flavor)
- 2 cups Pound cake or sponge cake
- 1.5 cups Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 cups Whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Jello ahead of time according to the package instructions to allow it to set completely. Once set, lightly break it up with a fork into soft, spoonable pieces.
Cut the pound cake or sponge cake into bite-sized cubes.
Rinse and pat dry the mixed berries. Slice any larger fruits, such as strawberries, into bite-sized pieces.
In a clear glass trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, begin by layering 1/3 of the cake cubes as the base.
Add a layer of Jello, followed by a layer of mixed berries.
Spread or pipe on a layer of whipped cream to cover the berries evenly.
Repeat the layering process (cake, Jello, berries, whipped cream) until all ingredients are used, finishing with whipped cream on top.
Optional: Sprinkle a dusting of powdered sugar over the top layer and garnish with mint leaves for a fresh and elegant touch.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to chill and let the flavors meld.
