Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 2 packages French vanilla flavored pudding mix
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 Store bought Angel Food Cake (from the bakery department cut into 1 inch squares)
- 3 containers strawberries (tops removed and sliced)
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups raspberries
- 8 oz Cool Whip
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add dry pudding mix and whole milk. Using a whisk or a hand mixer, beat together until no lumps remain. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate per package directions.
- In a trifle bowl, add half of the Angel Food Cake pieces and evenly spread them out.
- Add half of the chilled French vanilla pudding over the top of the cake pieces and evenly spread it out with a rubber spatula.
- Add one third of each berry on top of the French vanilla pudding.
- Add half of the Cool Whip to the top of the berries.
- Repeat the layers (cake, French vanilla pudding, berries, Cool Whip).
- Add the remaining one third of berries to the top of the trifle.
Notes
- Do not recommend using frozen fruit: As it thaws it will soak into the Angel Food Cake, turning it into mush.
- Variety of flavors: You can use a variety of instant jello flavor pudding flavors like Coconut Cream, Banana Cream, or Cheesecake.
- Making your own: If you’d prefer making an Angel Food Cake, you can buy a box mix from the store. You will need either a tube pan or three 8.5 inch loaf pans for it to cook in.
- Preventing mess: I recommend placing a baking sheet on the bottom shelf to prevent a mess if it overflows.
