Trifle Ingredients

Method

Trifle Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vanilla Pudding

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

  2. 2

    Layer the Cake and Fruits

    In a large trifle bowl or individual cups, start by layering cubes of pound cake at the bottom.

  3. 3

    Add Strawberry Layer

    Spread a layer of strawberry jam over the pound cake, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries.

  4. 4

    Add Pudding Layer

    Spoon a layer of prepared vanilla pudding over the strawberries.

  5. 5

    Add Whipped Cream

    Top the pudding layer with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

  6. 6

    Repeat Layers

    Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients: pound cake, strawberry jam, strawberries, vanilla pudding, and whipped cream.

  7. 7

    Banana Layer

    For the banana pudding trifle, use sliced bananas instead of strawberries in the last layers.

  8. 8

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the trifle and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
