Instructions
Creating this 4th of July Trifle is a breeze if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Berries: If desired, toss the sliced strawberries with sugar to enhance sweetness. Let them sit for around 10-15 minutes.
2. Create Layers in the Trifle Dish: Start assembling your trifle by placing a layer of cake cubes at the bottom of your trifle dish.
3. Add Pudding: Spoon a layer of vanilla pudding evenly over the cake cubes.
4. Layer Fruits: Add a layer of sliced strawberries followed by a layer of blueberries on top of the pudding.
5. Whipped Cream Layer: Next, add a layer of whipped cream over the fruits.
6. Repeat the Process: Continue layering the ingredients (cake, pudding, fruits, whipped cream) until you reach the top of the dish.
7. Final Touch: On the top layer, finish with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Decorate with additional berries for a festive look.
8. Chill: Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours to allow flavors to meld.
9. Serve: Once chilled, remove from the fridge, grab a ladle, and serve generous portions to your guests.
