Patriotic 4th of July Trifle
Quick & Easy Patriotic Summertime Strawberry, Blueberry Trifle
Summertime in the United States means fresh berries and the abundance of the Red, White, and Blue. You really can’t go wrong with fresh blueberries and strawberries! Summertime is also the time for BBQs with friends and family get-togethers, where everyone brings their favorite dishes! This Red, White, and Blue, fresh berry trifle looks elaborate… but is really quite simple and easy to make! You can be assured that there won’t be a crumb left by the time your celebration is over.
Ingredients:
5 cups strawberries, sliced into flat pieces
4 cups blueberries
Juice of 1 tangerine
Canned Whipped Cream (or homemade if you prefer)
Pound Cake or Angel Food Cake
3 boxes instant vanilla Jell-O brand pudding, prepared
6-7 milk for Jell-O (per directions)
3 T. vanilla extract
Directions:
· Clean berries and toss with the juice of 1-2 tangerines, set aside. Make pudding according to directions on boxes. I used 3 boxes of pudding. Add 3 tablespoons of vanilla extract. Chill if possible. When ready to layer your trifle, use the extra cup of milk to loosen pudding, for spread ability, if necessary.
· Layer in order (from bottom of trifle bowl top):
o Pudding layer, covering the bottom of the bowl
o Pound cake slices, covering the pudding layer
o Whipped cream layer (don’t get on side of bowl for strawberry, aesthetic purposes)
o Strawberries flat and pretty against side and then layered throughout the middle
o Pudding layer, covering the bottom of the bowl
o Pound cake slices, covering the pudding layer
o Whipped cream layer (don’t get on side of bowl for strawberry, aesthetic purposes)
o Blueberries covering whipped cream in a nice sized layer
o Repeat until finished, but top with decorative whipped cream and a few berries for decoration.
o Chill completely & enjoy!
