I call this easy red, white, and blue trifle an "assembly recipe," because very little cooking is involved. Fresh fruit, yogurt, and berry syrup are layered in a clear bowl for a beautiful presentation. Layer in as much fruit as your bowl will hold, for a refreshing and easy summer dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 angel food cake
  • 32 ounces vanilla yogurt , divided
  • 1 pint strawberries
  • 0.75 cups strawberry preserves
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 cups blueberries , rinsed and dried
  • 0.75 cups blueberry preserves
  • strawberries

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place a layer of angel food cake pieces in the bottom of a small trifle dish or pretty cut glass bowl. Spread a thin layer of yogurt over cake layer.

  2. 2

    Add a single layer of sliced strawberries. Place strawberry preserves and 1 tablespoon water in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on High until preserves liquefy, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir, and add up to 1 tablespoon more water if needed to make a syrup. Drizzle a portion of strawberry syrup over strawberry layer.

  3. 3

    Add another single layer of cake pieces, and spread with yogurt. Sprinkle with blueberries.

  4. 4

    Place blueberry preserves and 1 tablespoon water in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on High until preserves have melted, about 1 minute. Stir, and add up to 1 tablespoon more water if needed to make a syrup. Drizzle a portion of blueberry syrup over blueberries.

  5. 5

    Add another layer of cake pieces; spread with yogurt, add a layer of strawberries, and drizzle with strawberry syrup. Add a layer of cake; spread with yogurt, sprinkle with blueberries, and drizzle with blueberry syrup. Spread with a final layer of yogurt.

  6. 6

    Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, whole berries, and blueberries, and drizzle with any remaining syrup.

  7. 7

    Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Store leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator.
