Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cake angel food cake
- 2 cups strawberries
- 1.5 cups blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 cups whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 box vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Prepare the vanilla pudding by mixing the pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk in a medium bowl. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until thickened, then refrigerate for at least 5 minutes.
Wash and dry the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Cut the strawberries into thin slices.
In a separate bowl, mix the whipped topping with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until combined.
Begin assembly of the trifle by layering 1/3 of the angel food cake cubes at the bottom of a large clear trifle bowl.
Add a layer of sliced strawberries and raspberries, followed by a layer of pudding, and then a layer of whipped topping.
Add another 1/3 of the angel food cake cubes, followed by a layer of blueberries and more whipped topping.
Repeat the process with the final layer of angel food cake, a combination of all the berries, and a generous layer of whipped topping.
Garnish the top with a decorative arrangement of fresh berries and mint leaves, if desired.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with a large serving spoon, scooping through all layers to capture every flavor.
