Mouth-Watering Berry and Vanilla Cream Trifle for Foodie Friday
By Tania Dooley
Ingredients:
1 store-bought pound cake, sliced
2) In another medium bowl, add the pint of whipping cream and add the 3 tbsp of sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla. Whip until it is fluffy, about 7 minutes. I prefer this method over the Cool Whip.
5) Keep repeating process #4 until the top layer in which you will add the remaining whip cream and top off with blueberries.

It's strawberry season so what do you do with all your extra strawberries before they go to waste? Make a trifle. A Trifle is an English desert that contains layers of fruit, thinly layered cake, custard and whipped cream. For this desert recipe the custard is substituted with pudding.

1 store-bought pound cake, sliced
1 box Godiva vanilla instant pudding (or any other brand you'd like)
1 pint of whipping cream (or 1 container of Cool Whip)
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups of strawberries, sliced
2 cups of blueberries

Preparing ingredients
1) In a medium bowl prepare the instant pudding according to instructions. Instant pudding requires two cups of milk per package. Whip until soft, about 2 minutes. Set aside in refrigerator, covered.
3) Take the pudding out of the fridge and begin assembling the Trifle.
4) In a trifle bowl, on the bottom add a layer of pound cake, then add a scoop of pudding and slather. Add a thin layer of whipped cream, and add a layer of strawberries.
6) Cover with plastic, refrigerate for about 20 minutes. This process allows the pound cake to soak the vanilla cream and whipped cream. Serve and enjoy.
