Whether you’re hosting a barbecue or enjoying a quiet evening at home, these mini trifles are the perfect dessert to celebrate the season!

What replacements can I make?

Replace the fresh whipped cream with a container of Cool Whip or canned whipped cream. Use white cake instead of angel food cake or pound cake. Use raspberries instead of strawberries or a mix of both.

Can I use a store-bought cake for this recipe?

Yes, using a store-bought angel food cake or pound cake saves time and works perfectly for these mini trifles.

What should I do if I don’t have fresh berries?

I wouldn’t use frozen berries because of excess moisture.

Layer neatly: To ensure your trifles look as delicious as they taste, use a spoon or piping bag to gently apply each layer. This keeps the cake layers, berries and whipped cream clean and even.

Chill for the best taste: While the tidbits can be enjoyed immediately, leaving them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours allows the flavors to blend together and improve the overall taste.

Use fresh ingredients: For best results, use fresh strawberries and blueberries. If fresh berries are not available, frozen berries can be used, but be sure to thaw them and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.

Adjust your layers: Feel free to add extra ingredients to your trifles, such as a layer of lemon zest, lemon juice or white chocolate pudding mix, for a unique twist.

Alternative cake options: Although angel cake and pound cake are classic choices, you can also use sponge cake or white cake mix if you prefer.

Portion size flexibility: If you don’t have 8-ounce glass jars or 9-ounce clear plastic cups, you can use any similar sized container. Adjust the number of layers accordingly to suit the container size.

Quick whipped cream: If you’re short on time, using store-bought Cool Whip instead of homemade whipped cream can be a convenient alternative.
