Here’s how to make Berry Trifle
If you are making everything from scratch, you can click on the following links to find the angel food cake recipe, vanilla pudding, and whipped cream recipes. Or, download your recipe card below to get all the recipes at once.
After you have the cake, pudding and whipped cream prepared, you can start to assemble the summer berry trifle
Cut your angel food cake into bite-sized pieces, and prepare your fruit by washing and slicing as desired.
Toss a layer of cake onto the bottom of the trifle bowl, and then scoop a few spoons of pudding on top.
Scatter some berries on top, and then scoop a few spoonfuls of whipped cream. Continue alternating until you reach the top of the bowl or run out of ingredients.
I really like how pretty the top is by having a final whipped cream layer and scattering the fruit on the top, so be sure to reserve enough fruit and whipped cream.
I don’t bother to make even layers or spread the pudding or whipped cream too much because I think it tastes better to have bursts of flavor in places, rather than a thin amount all over.
