Fresh strawberries in between strawberry cake, cheesecake pudding, and whipped cream for a delicious layered dessert any time of year. See how to make this quick and easy trifle recipe the next time you need a sweet treat.
I usually reach for chocolate desserts if there’s an option, but once in a while I love anything with fresh strawberries. The colors and flavors of this trifle remind me of spring or Valentine’s Day, but it’s most definitely delicious all year round.
Fill up your trifle bowl with these tasty layers of strawberry cheesecake for your next event.
(Exact measurements in printable recipe card below)
- Strawberry cake mix
- Ingredients to make the cake mix (usually eggs, water, and oil)
- Instant cheesecake pudding mix
- Milk
- Whipped topping, thawed
- Fresh strawberries, washed and dried
Whisk together the pudding and milk in a small bowl.
Place the smooth pudding mixture into the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
Put 5-8 whole strawberries to the side.
Remove the tops of the remaining strawberries and slice them into quarters.
Bake the strawberry cake mix as per instructions. Use the directions on the box for 2 rounds or a 9 × 13 sheet pan.
Let the cake cool completely and then cut into cubes.
Place half of the cake cubes into a trifle bowl.
Top with half of the pudding and half of the whipped topping.
Smooth out each layer as you go.
Add the fresh sliced strawberries.
Repeat the layers ending with a large center dollop of whipped topping.
Add the reserved fresh whole strawberries.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serves 10-12 people.
If you miss the crunch of cookies in this trifle, add in some crushed graham crackers, shortbread cookie crumbles, or any kind of vanilla cookie.
I would get the layers of the trifle ready the day before and assemble it the day of. Bake the cake, make the pudding, cut the strawberries, and have each layer ready to go so you only have to put them in the bowl.
Use a strawberry cupcake, a vanilla Snack Pack, and whipped cream from a can to make a mini strawberry trifle.
Make those trifles look fancy even though they are impossibly easy to make! Display all the layers in this gorgeous trifle bowl.
