A Red, White and Blue Dessert


Looks so good, had to share this from: http://busycooks.about.com I am going to try this recipe this weekend!!!!! Think everyone will love it.

You can make this trifle recipe anytime, just vary the types of fruits you use. For the picture, I used bing cherries and blueberries.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 cups cold whole milk
  • 4 serving size pkg. cheesecake flavor instant pudding mix
  • 8 oz. container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 frozen loaf pound cake, thawed
  • 2 cups pitted cherries or sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup sliced bananas
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Preparation:

In medium bowl, combine milk and pudding mix and beat with egg beater for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Fold in the thawed whipped topping. Cut the thawed pound cake into 1/2" cubes. In large glass bowl, layer 1/2 of the cake cubes, 1/2 of the fruit, and 1/2 of the pudding mixture. Repeat layers. Chill at least 2 hours before serving. Sprinkle with toasted almonds. Serves 12
