4th of July Trifle {No Bake Option}

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf angel food cake premade or bake one cake per box directions
  • 1 small package instant vanilla pudding
  • 8 oz carton cool whip
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 carton strawberries hulled and sliced (more as desired)
  • 1 pint blue berries more as desired

Instructions

  • Break angel food cake into bite size pieces
  • Whisk pudding and milk together until smooth, fold in cool whip
  • Place 1/3 of angel food cake bites in bottom of small trifle bowl or other clear glass bowl as desired
  • Top with 1/3 of pudding mixture
  • Place a layer of fruit on top (you can do a mixture of both strawberries and blueberries or do individual layers like I did to give a more distinct red, white and blue pattern)
  • Repeat layering with remaining ingredients.
  • For the top layer decorate berries as desired. I did a star pattern this time. Other ideas: flag pattern or assorted for a more rustic look
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve. Best served the same day as made.

Notes

You can make fun individual trifles too - use pint size jars or punch cups
Lower calorie/sugar version - use light/sugar free cool whip and skim milk
