Perfect Dessert for Summertime!

My usual contribution to the 4th of July picnic is a Strawberry Blueberry Trifle.   It is easy to make and always is a hit. 

Strawberry Blueberry Trifle

SERVINGS: 14
TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 2 packages instant white chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 prepared angel food cake (14 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/2 cup whole strawberries, halved

Directions:

In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set.
Place a third of the cake cubes in a trifle bowl or 3-1/2-qt. glass serving bowl. Top with a third of the pudding, 1 cup sliced strawberries, 1-1/2 cups blueberries and a third of the whipped topping. Layer with a third of the cake and pudding, 1 cup strawberries and a third of the whipped topping.
Top with remaining cake, pudding, strawberries, blueberries and whipped topping. Serve immediately or cover and chill until serving. Yield: 14 servings.

***Sometimes I mix the whipped topping with the pudding.

Sound really good. Since I didn't have it on the 4th, I think it would be okay to make one today.
