Patriotic Berry Trifle

July 9, 2012 By denise Leave a Comment

Every holiday I try to make a dessert to match the holiday because I’m crafty like that. This Fourth of July, my birthday by the way, I tried a recipe from Sunny Anderson for her patriotic trifle. Well I adapted it because I was lazy and trying to be somewhat healthy so instead of a heavy cream I used Lite Cool Whip. 

We ate this on the Fourth with our holiday meal. It was a sweet, simple treat. If you haven’t caught on yet, simple is my middle name.

Hope you all had a great Fourth of July!

Patriotic Berry Trifle

(recipe adapted from Sunny Anderson)

Ingredients:

1/4 c sugar
1/4 c water
Juice from 2 large lemons
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 premade angel food cake, cut into 1-inch slices
2 pints blueberries
1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 large containers of Lite Cool Whip

Instructions:

Heat sugar, lemon juice and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat.  Stir until sugar dissolves. Once done, remove pan from heat and stir in extract.

Brush both sides of each slice of cake with the syrup. Cut the slices into 1-inch cubes.

Arrange half of the cake cubes in bottom of trifle dish. Sprinkle evenly with a layer of blueberries. Layer a good portion of Cool Whip over the blueberries and gently spread. Top with a layer of strawberries. Layer remaining cake cubes on top of strawberries and repeat with blueberries. Add Cool Whip and spread evenly. Finish with the remaining strawberries and blueberries, arranging them in a decorative pattern. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.

Note: to get even slices of strawberries, trim top and bottom then slice with an egg slicer.
