Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 oz pound cake or angel food cake
  • 2 3.4 oz vanilla instant pudding
  • 1 16 oz cool whip thawed, reserve 1 1/2 cups for topping
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup fresh red raspberries washed and dried
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries washed and dried
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled, washed, dried and sliced

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the pudding
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the instant pudding with cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes). Gently fold in all but 1½ cups of Cool Whip.
  • Layer the ingredients
  • Start with a layer of cake cubes on the bottom of your trifle bowl. Add a layer of pudding mixture, followed by a mixture of berries. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
  • Top and chill
  • Finish with reserved Cool Whip and a generous topping of fresh berries. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving—or serve immediately if short on time.
