Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) Vanilla pudding mix
- 4 cups Milk
- 16 oz Whipped topping
- 1 loaf (about 16 oz) Pound cake
- 2 cups Strawberries, sliced
- 1.5 cups Blueberries
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until it thickens (about 2 minutes). Let it rest for 5 minutes to fully set.
Gently fold in 12 oz of whipped topping into the pudding until well combined and smooth. Reserve the remaining 4 oz of whipped topping for later.
Slice the pound cake into 1-inch cubes.
In a large trifle dish or clear glass bowl, start by creating the first layer: scatter an even layer of pound cake cubes at the bottom.
Spoon a third of the pudding mixture over the pound cake and spread evenly.
Add a layer of sliced strawberries, followed by a layer of blueberries.
Repeat the layers (cake, pudding, strawberries, blueberries) two more times or until the trifle dish is full, ending with a layer of pudding on top.
Spread the reserved whipped topping over the final pudding layer and smooth it out with a spatula.
Decorate the top with a pattern of strawberries and blueberries for a patriotic touch. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
