Ingredients
  

For the base

  • 1 loaf pound cake, cubed This helps with structure and keeps the layers defined.

For the layers

  • 2 cups fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) These add freshness and contrast.
  • 2 cups whipped cream Adds richness without overpowering the berries.
  • 1 cup vanilla pudding Brings a creamy, reliable base note.
  • 1 cup yogurt (optional) Adds a gentle tang that lightens the sweetness.
  • a few mint leaves for garnish Provides a clean aroma and a pop of color.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by preparing the pudding as per package instructions and let it cool.
  • In a large trifle dish or individual cups, layer cubed pound cake at the bottom, spreading cubes evenly so each spoonful has cake.
  • Add a layer of vanilla pudding over the cake, spooning it to cover the cake uniformly.
  • Next, layer fresh berries over the pudding, arranging them to show color and texture.
  • Follow with a layer of whipped cream, dolloping or piping it to rest in soft peaks.
  • Repeat the layers until all components are used, finishing with whipped cream on top.
  • Garnish with mint leaves and additional berries if desired. Chill before serving.

Serving

  • Let the trifle rest in the fridge for at least an hour so flavors marry.

Notes

Store the trifle covered in the refrigerator for up to two days for best texture. Avoid freezing the whole trifle as the texture will change.
