You can change this recipe up lots of ways - use fresh made whipped cream, any mix of berries you like, and swap out the vanilla pudding for cheesecake flavor if you'd like. You can use pound cake in place of angel food cake if you prefer - but I like the light texture of the angel food cake for this one!
Ingredients
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix , 1 ounce
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 container frozen whipped topping , 8 ounce
- 1 package angel food cake , 13 ounce
- 2 cups fresh strawberries , sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 0.5 cups fresh raspberries
Instructions
-
1
Prepare the instant pudding first according to package direction by whipping the pudding with the cold milk until soft set. Refrigerate until firmed up, about 1 hour.
-
2
Sprinkle half of the diced angel food cake onto the bottom of a trifle bowl. Set aside a few of the blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries to decorate the top of the cake. Add half of the remaining berries evenly over the cake pieces, then spoon the set pudding on top of the berries.
-
3
Add the last layer of cake and any remaining berries (except those reserved for decoration). Top berries with frozen whipped topping, spreading gently to create a smooth and even surface. Use the reserved berries to decorate the top of your trifle however you'd like!
-
4
Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve (don't make too far in advance, as the cake will start to break down the longer it sits).

Amish Friendship Chocolate Bread
This is a great variation to the traditional Amish Friendship Bread. My family says it's like eating chocolate cake. This bread freezes well and makes a great gift.
