How to Make It
-
Prepare the Pudding Layer
In a bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2โ3 minutes). Let it sit while you prepare the other ingredients. -
Whip the Cream (if not using pre-made topping)
In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Set aside. -
Cube the Cake
Cut your cake into bite-sized cubes. If you like, brush them lightly with fruit juice or sherry to add a little extra flavor and moisture. -
Layer the Trifle
In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, start layering:-
A layer of cake cubes
-
A layer of pudding
-
A layer of mixed fruit (try to get a mix of color and texture)
-
A layer of whipped cream
Repeat these layers until the dish is full, finishing with a beautiful topping of whipped cream and a generous handful of fruit on top.

-
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
Tips for Success
-
Fresh is Best: Use ripe, in-season fruit for the brightest flavor and best texture.
-
Avoid Soggy Layers: If using very juicy fruit, pat them dry or layer them in the center to prevent the cake from getting soggy too fast.
-
Go Nuts: Add layers of chopped nuts or granola for extra crunch.
-
Play with Flavors: Try chocolate cake with cherries, or lemon cake with blueberries for a citrus twist.
