Berry 4th of July Trifle

 

 What better way to celebrate the 4th than with a patriotic trifle!

This impressive and beautiful dessert is surprisingly easy to create.

Layers of shortcake, blueberries, a mixture of whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk and strawberries.

Ingredients:

• 10 oz angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2lbs strawberries, sliced
• 2 pints blueberries

For the cream filling:

• 7 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
• 1 1/2 cups cold water
• 1 package white chocolate instant pudding mix
• 12 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions:

Mix the condensed milk and water in a bowl.  Add the pudding mix and whisk for 2 minutes. Let stand for for about 2 minutes until soft-set.  Fold in the whipped topping.

Arrange half of the cake cubs in the bottom of a 14-cup trifle dish. Add an even layer of blueberries on top. Carefully spoon half of the cream mixture over the blueberries and gently spread. Add a layer of strawberries.  Repeat with cake cubes, blueberries and cream mixture. Carefully arrange the remaining strawberries and blueberries in a pretty pattern.  Refrigerate at least one 1 hour.
