Strawberry Trifle Dessert – It’s Not Too Late for Easter

Easter is Sunday and you may have planned your dinner menu for weeks.  Or then again you may be surprised that it is here already!  I saw this dessert on Facebook and I have made a similar version many times.  It is so quick and easy I decided to share it now if you are looking for a last-minute, make-it-fast dessert that is absolutely, finger-licking, delicious!  (I always dip my finger into the whip cream, don’t you?)

A trifle is a dessert made with cake, fruit, custard, and whip cream.  This dessert fits that description perfectly! My sous-chef helped me by making the angel food cake, but a store-bought cake works fine.

The cake is torn or cut into small pieces.  I made sugar-free, fat-free vanilla pudding, thawed some frozen strawberries, and used Cool Whip for the whipped cream.

The trifle can be layered with cake, strawberries, pudding, then whip cream.  I like to fold the whip cream into the pudding and use the mixture as one layer, which is what I did for these individual parfaits.

This takes only minutes to make and needs refrigerated for at least 4 hours or even better, over night.

Happy Easter and Sweet Blessings!
