Are you a fan of mason jar desserts? Oh good, me too! Patriotic Berry Trifles are an easy and delicious way to celebrate Memorial Day or the Fourth of July. Best of all, since this dessert in a jar is ‘no-bake’, you have more time to celebrate the Red, White and Blueberry!
More of a procedure than a recipe, you can customize your trifle-in-a-jar with the fruit and cake flavor of your choice, altering the layers with your choice of custard, pudding, lemon curd, whipped cream or a combination. Assemble a day ahead or several hours in advance and refrigerate. Use the jar lids for a portable picnic dessert, topping with additional whipped cream and berries when ready to serve.
