Classic English Trifle Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 (8 or 9 inch) white cake layers, baked and cooled
• 2 pints fresh strawberries
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 1 pint fresh blueberries
• 2 bananas bananas
• 0.25 cup orange juice
• 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 0.25 cup blanched slivered almonds
• 12 maraschino cherries

Instructions

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the trifle.
2. Slice the strawberries and sweeten with a sprinkle of sugar if desired. Slice the bananas and toss them gently with orange juice to prevent browning. Whisk together the pudding mix and milk until smooth and set aside. Cut the white cake into 1-inch cubes.
3. Arrange half of the cake cubes in a single layer at the bottom of a large glass trifle bowl. Next, layer half of the sliced strawberries, followed by half of the blueberries, and then half of the banana slices.
4. Spread half of the prepared vanilla pudding evenly over the fruit layer. Repeat all the layers in the same order, starting with the remaining cake cubes.
5. In a chilled glass or metal bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the trifle.
6. If desired, garnish the trifle with slivered almonds and extra fresh berries. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
