Ingredients
Fruits
- Raspberries: 2 cups (fresh or frozen)
Pudding
- Vanilla Pudding: 1 package (prepared according to package instructions)
Cake
- Angel Food Cake: 1 (cut into bite-sized cubes)
Cream
- Whipped Cream: 2 cups (whipped until soft peaks form)
Garnish
- Mint Leaves: a handful (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing the raspberries gently and allowing them to dry. If using frozen raspberries, let them thaw completely. Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions and whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
- Layer the Cake: Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes. In a large glass bowl or individual serving cups, begin layering the cake pieces at the bottom.
- Add the Pudding: Next, spoon a layer of vanilla pudding over the cake cubes, spreading it evenly to cover all the sides.
- Add the Raspberries: Now it’s time to add a generous layer of fresh raspberries over the pudding, pressing them gently into the pudding layer.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers of cake, pudding, and raspberries until you reach the top of your bowl or cups. Aim for at least three layers for a beautiful presentation.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Finish your trifle with a fluffy layer of whipped cream on top. You can pipe it on for a decorative touch or simply spread it evenly.
- Garnish: If desired, garnish with a few whole raspberries and mint leaves for an extra pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh raspberries will give you the best flavor and texture.
- Chill Before Serving: Letting the trifle sit in the fridge for a couple of hours helps the flavors meld beautifully.
- Layer with Care: Be gentle when layering to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the trifle.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to try different flavor extracts in the pudding for a unique twist.
- Use a Clear Bowl: A glass bowl showcases the stunning layers, making it more inviting.
