Debi Makes a Trifle...

Honestly, when Tai met Debi (we won't tell how many) years ago, she didn't cook or even go into the kitchen. Now she makes trifle "to-die-for" that disappeared in minutes. Recipe to come...

Fruit Trifle

 

White or Yellow Cake mix (your choice...Pillsbury, Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines)  Follow mixing directions on box.  Bake in 9 x 13 pan,  once the cake is cool, cut cake in small squares for layering in trifle bowl. It made be 3 to 4 lines cut into the cake long ways, then 6 to 7 lines cut into the cake the other way. (Make small squares)

 

16 oz of thawed frozen sliced strawberries

4 to 5 container cups of Swiss Miss or Jello Vanilla Pudding  (cold pudding)

Thawed Cool Whip  (or make your own whipped cream)

Fresh berries.....4 to 6 oz of Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries  (washed and drained)

 

The process of this dessert is layering,  First) cake, second) thawed strawberries, third) pudding, fourth) placing some of the fresh fruit on that layer, etc..  You should be able to layer this at least 4 times to fill the bowl.

 

Start by putting two tablespoons of the thawed sliced strawberries on bottom of trifle bowl

Place small cake square on bottom of trifle bowl (cover the bottom of bowl with the cake squares)

Then spoon on the thawed strawberries on the cake squares (covering the cake just enough)

Then spoon one cup of vanilla pudding on top of thawed strawberries, spreading the pudding

Then place some of the different berries (ones that you like of course) on top of the pudding

 

Start the next layers like the last until the bowl is full.

 

Then  put the cool whip on top. 

 

To decorate the top with the fresh fruit...cut strawberries long ways in half (not sure how many this will take)

with tip of berry down, place along the edge of the trifle bowl all the way around. Place the other berries in the center on top of the cool whip.

 

Chill in refrigerator,  if not going be eaten within two to three hours after you are finished putting it together..  It's good chilled.

 

Enjoy!!!!
