A super simple, super yummy dessert for the 4th of July or any summer get together. You can throw this Red White and Blue Berry Trifle together in not much time at all.
A little chop chop with the strawberries, a two minute mix for some pudding and a store bought Angel food cake, some whipped cream, and your off to the party with this Red White and Blue Berry Trifle, and there is no need to heat up the kitchen.
Believe or not this is a relatively healthy dessert. All those fresh berries are so good for you and the Angel food cake is so light and airy, just perfect soaking in the berry juices. And hey, a little white chocolate pudding in the middle of all that adds just enough creamy goodness not to mention topping if off with a few dollops of whipped cream.
So you don’t have a fancy trifle bowl, me either, this is an old punch bowl. Works just fine, for what we needed. They always have big glass bowls at our local resale shop for only a couple dollars vs up to $50.00 for one.
Perfectly patriotic for celebrating our country’s birthday or a sunny summer weekend!
