Never underestimate a good trifle. I have taken this to dinners, parties and picnics and it is good every single time.
I am not a baker. I love to cook but baking is more of a science, so I leave that to my daughter, Logan, who is a tremendously talented baker- thank goodness, because we needed one badly in the family. So, when Logan is unable to work her magic in the kitchen, I always pull out the trifle recipe.
It is also Jay’s favorite dessert, and just happened to be his birthday “cake” this year. Also, please note, even though it is a Strawberry Trifle, I could not help but throw in some plump, just picked, blueberries I had on hand. You can honestly put just about anything in a trifle.
Do not stress out if you do not have a glass trifle bowl. I have thrown this into a disposable aluminum pan many times. But it is exceptionally pretty in a glass trifle bowl.
Make this recipe your own. Use sugar free pudding and sugar free whipped topping. Use pound cake. Use cherry pie filling. I even made a fabulous trifle at Easter with carrot cake and instant cheesecake pudding. The possibilities are endless.
