Doesn’t it look delicious? And guess what….it’s easy! It is by far the easiest dessert to make….and it yields the most compliments and requests for the recipe every time I make it!
Here’s what you’ll need:
1. Some cake. For a fruit trifle I like to use angel food cake….it keeps everything light.
2. Some pudding. I like to use sugar free fat free vanilla. I’ve had the full fat/sugar kind and really, it doesn’t make the trifle any better, so save yourself some calories and get sugar free. And buy the large box, not the small one.
3. Some whipping cream. You really need a little more than I have pictured above….I sort of ran out. So buy two small cartons. And yes, you have to whip the cream yourself! It’s not hard at all. And it tastes better than the pre-made stuff.
4. Some fruit. Strawberries and bananas are a must. Sometimes my mom makes this with blueberries too, but I don’t like them so I left them out. Really you can use any fruit you like.
5. A pretty trifle bowl….I can’t stress this enough! You can get one for cheap from Bed Bath and Beyond.

You're right about people loving this. It's so easy and delicious and everyone raves!
I loove a good trifle, and I'm pretty sure we have the same trifle bowl. However, I can't believe you put bananas in yours. ICK!
Haha, I'm all kinds of picky.
Thank you thank you thank you! I was looking for an easy but impressive dessert to make for my supper club next month! 🙂

Looks absolutely yummy! This post is making me hungry!!:) I will def have to try this recipe at our next cookout. Thanks for sharing!!:)
I love trifles! I make a similar one except I use blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. I am going to have to try bananas next time!
Ah trifle. Yum! And you are so right about serving this in a beautiful bowl – it just cranks up the specialness factor!
i gotta get me a trifle bowl. i bet if i put ceral and milk in that thing it would look good.
LOOOVE this recipe and cant wait to try it. . . in the trifle bowl you got me- that hasnt been used for anything but decoration 🙂
You're right. The BOWL brings the WOW factor. Great job! And, thanks for the BBB link!

Oh my! That looks so fantastic and perfect for spring with the strawberries finally looking so delicious. I'm making this for sure.
That is BEAUTIFUL! Love it!
I love it when you make this!! So yummy. 🙂
That is JUST what my life has been missing. I am so making that this weekend. YUM.
Beautiful~! I'm jealous of your kitchenaid because it's RED! Mine's white, because white was the one that was 50% off. I'm such a sucker for saving money, dang it! Red would look so much better in my kitchen. But I love it, I'm sure it will whip my cream just fine. Thank you for your recipe! This is all kinds of fun.
LOVE it! Great tips. I'll have to give it a try soon!
