If you read my blog, you know I love a trifle. They serve a crowd, they combine the best of flavors, they are easy to create, and they are gorgeous. This Strawberry Trifle combines the best of summer by using strawberries with homemade vanilla pudding and angel food cake. And it’s just so yummy. Like all the best things about strawberry shortcake with pudding!
I make homemade vanilla pudding for my strawberry trifle. The recipe can be found here.
Wash and slice 3 c. of strawberries or thaw and drain 3 c. of frozen strawberries. Add 1/3 c. sugar and let them sit until they macerate and get nice and juicy.
Whip 1 pint of heavy whipping cream to soft peaks and add in 4 T. powdered sugar.
Cut an angel food cake into cubes and start layering! You can either use mason jars and make individual portions or make one huge bowl to serve about 10-12 people.
Layer 1/3 of the angel food cake cubes into the bottom of a trifle bowl or large glass bowl. Add a layer of strawberries, then pudding, and then whipped cream. Repeat.
Decorate the whipped cream on top with fresh strawberries. Refrigerate the whole thing for at least four hours, but eat within twenty-four hours or it can get soggy.
