This berry trifle is the perfect summer dessert. It’s light and refreshing and so flavorful! This recipe is made with smooth and creamy dollops of homemade vanilla pudding and whipped cream, and flavorful angel food cake.

You can easily make this mixed berry trifle with store-bought ingredients, or you can assemble everything from scratch with the recipes below.

I love trifles because they are so easily adaptable. It’s quick enough to assemble for an everyday dessert, AND classy enough for a special event!

In the fall, I love to make this gingersnap cheesecake trifle. It’s such a rich, flavorful dessert, with beautiful layers. It’s creamy with the perfect combination of molasses, cloves, cinnamon, and caramel.

Alright, let’s get baking!

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.
