This is one dessert my husband asks for regularly. Lucky for me, it is possibly the EASIEST dessert to make. Just cut cake and fruit up, make some pudding, and layer it all together. Doesn't get much better than that, and I know it couldn't get much easier!!
I originally found a recipe like this one in the Taste of Home cookbook, but I have altered that one a lot. We love whatever berries are on sale in this, and we change up the pudding flavors to what we have in the pantry or what sounds good with the fruit we have in the fridge.
Play with this recipe, there is no wrong way to make it, and you just might stumble on something you like even BETTER than the original!!
Berry Trifle:
1 cake mix, whatever flavor you like (I prefer either white cake or angel food cake with this recipe)
1 box instant pudding, we like either chocolate or white chocolate
1 container lite Cool Whip
2-3 lbs. berries (i.e. strawberries, raspberries, blueberries...), rinsed and cut into bite size pieces
Prepare and bake the cake according to package directions, and let cool completely before beginning the next steps. (If you're really in a time crunch, just buy an angel food cake in the bakery department at the grocery store.) Prepare the instant pudding and allow to chill in the fridge for a few minutes, while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Cut up the cake in bite-size pieces, set aside. Rinse the berries you are using, and if needed, cut them up into bite-size pieces. Mix the berries together in a different bowl so that it is easier to layer the trifle. Place half the cake pieces in the bottom of a deep bowl. Follow by spreading half the cool whip over the cake pieces. Next spoon half the pudding over the cool whip layer. Take half the berries and cover the pudding layer. Repeat the layers with the cake, cool whip, pudding and berries, until all the ingredients are used. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
