Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Mixer
  • Trifle dish

Ingredients
  

Pudding Mix

  • 2 packages instant cheesecake flavored pudding mix *

Dairy

  • 4 cups milk
  • 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cake

  • 12 oz angel food cake, cut into pieces

Berries

  • 1 cup chopped strawberries *
  • 1 cup blueberries *
  • 1 cup raspberries *
  • additional berries for decorating

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Add pudding mix and milk to a large bowl and whisk together for about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl and whip on high speed until it reaches stiff peaks. Set aside.
  • Add about half of the angel food cake pieces to the trifle dish in an even layer. Place pieces around the edge first so that they look nice, then fill in the center.
  • Top the cake with about ½ of the prepared pudding.
  • Add some sliced strawberries around the edge of the trifle dish, where you’ll be putting the berries. Fill in the layer with about ½ a cup of each kind of berry.
  • Top the berries with about half of the cool whip and spread into an even layer.
  • Repeat steps 2-4, then pipe the remaining whipped cream on top of the trifle in a fun design.
  • Fill in the center of the whipped cream with additional berries and decorate as desired.
  • Refrigerate for about 2-3 hours, until ready to serve.

Notes

The pudding could be replaced with vanilla flavored pudding if you can’t find the cheesecake flavored pudding. I’d recommend having two containers of each type of berry, just to be sure you have enough. If you’d prefer to use Cool Whip over homemade whipped cream, replace the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract with 12 oz of Cool Whip.
