If we had to pick one dessert recipe that pleases most guests, this trifle recipe would definitely make the top 10 list. Not only because it is a no bake, easy to prepare, make the morning of dessert, it has always been a crowd pleaser. Every time this dessert is served, we always receive multiple compliments and requests for the recipe.
This recipe can be modified to create so many different variations, that although we share our recipe below, you can really mix it up depending on what is in season and what you already have on hand. So just get creative. We would love to hear what you came up with!
Since we have just gone blackberry picking this week (Link to Blackerry picking post here), we have used blackberries, blueberries and strawberries. Trust us, this dessert NEVER disappoints.
Ingredients:
If you are feeling a little creative, break out your cookie cutters and create a theme for your trifle. We went for a patriotic them and used two different size stars. Just slice your pound cake in ½’ slices and cut out a few, and then break up the remaining cake to use in your layers.
We added three layers in our trifle. Your first layer should be pound cake. Then add cool whip mixture and a layer of berries.
If you chose to cut out shapes, now is the time to begin adding them in against the side of the trifle dish, so you can see the shapes as you continue to build.
Continue to build by adding your layers of pound cake, cool whip mixture and berries. Once you get to the top, let your creative side take over. You can pipe the cool whip, add shapes, add whole berries or add other garnishes. It is up to you, and you can’t really go wrong.
Love the stars!
