Delicious 4th of july trifle recipe recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (12 ounces) angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
  • Red, white, and blue sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
  2. Step 2: In a trifle bowl or large glass serving dish, layer half of the angel food cake cubes.
  3. Step 3: Spread half of the whipped cream mixture over the cake.
  4. Step 4: Top with half of the blueberries, raspberries, and sliced strawberries. Repeat layers with remaining cake, whipped cream, and berries.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld. Garnish with red, white, and blue sprinkles, if desired, just before serving.

Notes

  • Store the trifle covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • For a slightly warmer, softer trifle, let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the trifle in individual glasses for a charming and portion-controlled presentation at your 4th of July gathering.
  • To prevent the angel food cake from becoming soggy, add the berries just before serving if you prefer a crispier cake.
