Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf (16 ounces) Pound cake
- 3 cups, hulled and sliced Strawberries
- 2 cups Blueberries
- 1 cup Raspberries
- 2 cups Whipping cream
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces, softened Cream cheese
- 1 cup Milk
- 3.4 ounces (1 standard package) Instant vanilla pudding mix
Instructions
Cut the pound cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
Add the milk and vanilla pudding mix to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined and thickened. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Reserve 1 cup of this whipped cream for garnish later.
Fold the remaining whipped cream into the cream cheese and pudding mixture to create a light, fluffy filling.
In a large glass trifle dish, begin assembling the trifle by placing an even layer of pound cake cubes at the bottom.
Add a layer of the cream mixture on top of the cake, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle a layer of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries over the cream mixture for the red and blue patriotic color theme.
Repeat the layers (cake, cream, and berries) until the trifle dish is full or the ingredients are used up, ending with the cream mixture on top.
Decorate the top layer with the reserved whipped cream and additional strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a striking presentation.
Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled in individual servings and enjoy your Patriotic Berry Trifle!
