Delicious Fruit Trifle Recipe

How to Make It

Prepare the Pudding Layer
In a bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2–3 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.
