Equipment
- Trifle Bowl
- Measuring Cups
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Hand Mixer
Ingredients
- 1 3.4- ounce instant vanilla pudding
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 vanilla cake cut into 1 ½“cubes
- 1 8- ounce tub Cool Whip divided
- 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced (or more)
- 2 cups fresh blueberries or more
Instructions
- In a large bowl add instant pudding mix and milk and beat on medium speed until it starts to thicken with a hand mixer.
- Fold in ½ tub of Cool Whip and set aside.
- Start to layer your trifle by adding a layer of cake pieces to the trifle bowl (use almost half the cake), followed by half of the pudding.
- Layer cut strawberries along the inside wall of the trifle bowl, then a small perimeter of blueberries, followed by cake in the centre.
- Add the remaining pudding, then blueberries all along the edge of the dish with the remaining cake in the center.
- Top the remaining cool whip on top of the visible cake, and garnish with any fresh fruit as desired.
- Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients, this helps the pudding set faster and keeps the whipped topping stable.
- Cut the cubes of cake evenly to ensure even layers and a beautiful presentation.
- Letting the trifle sit in the fridge for at least an hour enhances the flavors.
- Place berries along the edge of the dish for a more decorative finish.
- Use small glasses or mason jars for a fun, single-serve option.
