In this post I’ll be sharing a Simple Berry Trifle Recipe.

A trifle is an easy layered desert of cake, custard, fruit, glaze or jam, and whipped cream. You can make this so many ways. It’s just so easy to put together. There are many versions out there but here is a simple recipe that’s easy enough for anyone to make.

This trifle dessert is absolutely delicious and perfect for special occasion gatherings.

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 5.1 oz package of vanilla instant Jello pudding mix

3 cups of Milk

Strawberry Glaze (typically found in the produce department by the berries)

1 Store bought Angel Food Cake, pound cake, or sponge cake

1 Container Frozen Whipped Topping, thawed

Your favorite berries and fruit ( I use multi-colored berries for festive holiday trifles, as shown above) today I just used strawberries
