Description

A delightful and colorful dessert perfect for summer gatherings, featuring layers of pound cake, vanilla pudding, fresh berries, and whipped cream.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 pound pound cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup vanilla pudding (prepared)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and blueberries. If desired, add a teaspoon of sugar to the berries to enhance their sweetness. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the prepared vanilla pudding with the vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a large glass trifle dish or individual cups, layer the ingredients starting with a layer of pound cake cubes at the bottom.
  4. Add a layer of the vanilla pudding over the pound cake, followed by a layer of the mixed berries, and then a layer of whipped cream.
  5. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
  6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use angel food cake instead of pound cake.
  • Substitute the berries with other fruits like raspberries or peaches for a different flavor profile.
