Strawberry & Angel Cake Pudding Trifle

Do you love trifles? I LOVEE them! The combination of cake with cream and fruits is heavenly. I remember the first time I had a trifle was years ago when a family friend made it for a party at their place. I was utterly blown away by how delicious it was. Ever since then, I have found myself making trifles a lot.

One good thing about trifles is that they can be made with various fruits such as berries, bananas, and stone fruits like Peaches, Plums, etc. Also, trifles are a perfect spring/summer dessert! With the wide availability of fruits, it makes it a great choice.

This trifle here has a twist. A pudding and cream mix you’ll love. For the cake, Angel food cake or Chiffon cake, anything that soaks in the cream well. I have stewed the strawberries slightly to blend well with the cake and cream mix when chilled.

• Make the pudding cream mix: To make the cream, combine pudding mix with chilled milk and set aside. Whipe up heavy cream, fold the pudding mix into the whipped heavy cream and leave to set.
• Stew the Strawberries: In a saucepa, combine strawberries,sugar,water,cornstarch and cook on low flame till reduced and thickened.Leave to cool
• Layer the trifle: In a trifle dish, start by layering the pudding cream mix followed by crumbled cake peices . More cream and then a layer of the stewed strawberries. Repeat the layers until pudding cream mix is the top layer. Chill for 4 hours and serve .

When the strawberries are stewed, they are juicier and softer in texture. They also help soak those crumbled cake pieces and the pudding cream mix for a delicious bite. Some recipes call for strawberry jam or preserves. I like this version better since you can control the sweetness of the stewed strawberries, and they go well with the rest of the ingredients!
