Cherry trifle


Trifle is a delicious and fun dessert usually made by layering sponge cake, custard, fruit, jelly and cream. This is super easy and quick. If you are having guests over, don't have the time to make an elaborate dessert, this one is a life saver and always leaves an impression. Now, I love cherries, they are in season so I had to make cherry trifle. Picture this... spongy cake, covered with jelly, topped with luscious sweet ripe cherries and lots of cream and chocolate... all in one scrumptious glass... how can you go wrong!


Ingredients:

Angel food cake or pound cake ................... 1 cup cubed (I use store bought)
Instant vanilla pudding mix ........................ 3 oz
Cold milk .............................................. 2 cups
Jello cherry flavored ................................ 1 pkt (1 oz)
Whipped topping ..................................... 8 oz
Fresh cherries ......................................... 1 1/2 cup halved + few for garnishing
Chocolates pieces for garnishing


Method:
1. Prepare the jello according to package direction.


2. Take 4 wide top glasses and arrange the cake cubes at the bottom. Set aside.


3. Empty the instant pudding mix in a bowl.


4. Add in the cold Milk and whisk continuously.
Pour the pudding over the cake before the pudding starts to set. Keep aside.

5. Place few jello cubes on top.


6. Gently fold in cherries in the whipped topping and put on top of the jello. Top with chocolate pieces and a whole cherry. Refrigerate for an hour or two. Serve. ENJOY!


Notes:

1. Feel free to substitute with a berry of your choice (for example strawberries, raspberries etc)
