I love making a variety of desserts and this recipe for Strawberry and Blackberry Trifle is one of our favorites! You will need some fresh strawberries and fresh blackberries to make it. It takes about 15 minutes to prepare and then 1-2 hours of chilling time in the refrigerator. Will make 8-10 servings.

Strawberry and Blackberry Trifle Dessert Recipe

(1) 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup water
(1) 3.4 oz. box instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups light whipping cream
2 cups fresh strawberries (cut into halves or thirds)
2 cups fresh blackberries
1 large pre-made Angel Food Cake
several sliced strawberries & blackberries for garnishing

Cut the Angel Food Cake into small squares and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, water and instant vanilla pudding mix for about 2 minutes. In another medium sized mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, whip the light whipping cream until peaks form. Using a silicone spatula, fold the stiffened whipping cream into the pudding mix until well combined.

In a Trifle bowl (or any bowl) pour half of the pudding mixture into the bowl. Layer the cubed angel food cake on top. Pour the strawberries and blackberries on top of the cubed angel food cake. Pour the remaining amount of the pudding mixture on top.
Garnish the top of the trifle with freshly sliced strawberries and blackberries. Place some plastic wrap over the top and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving. When it comes to serving time, I like to spoon the trifle into parfait cups or other small dessert style dishes. It will keep up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
