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

- Whipped cream (or store bought)
- 5–6 cups fresh fruit

- 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.
- Reserve enough fruit and whipped cream to make a final layer of smoothed whipped cream with berries scattered on top.
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.
Notes
This mixed berry fruit trifle tastes best the day it’s made. While it can last for a few days, the cake will start to get soggy.
