A light, festive trifle featuring layers of airy angel food cake, fresh red, white, and blue berries, whipped cream, and yogurt. Perfect for patriotic celebrations and easy to assemble.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and patted dry
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, gently rinsed (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vanilla or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for yogurt)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat 1 ½ cups heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until soft peaks form. Avoid overwhipping.
  2. In a separate bowl, blend 1 cup vanilla or plain Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar.
  3. Rinse strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries gently. Slice strawberries thinly and pat all berries dry with a paper towel.
  4. Cut angel food cake into roughly 1-inch cubes, avoiding crushing.
  5. Start layering in a large glass trifle bowl: spread about ½ cup whipped cream at the bottom.
  6. Add about one-third of the cake cubes evenly over the whipped cream.
  7. Spoon about ½ cup of the sweetened yogurt over the cake layer.
  8. Add a generous layer of mixed berries (about 1 cup), distributing colors evenly.
  9. Repeat the layers of cake, yogurt, and berries two more times or until ingredients are used up.
  10. Finish with a thick layer of whipped cream on top.
  11. Garnish with extra whole berries and fresh mint leaves.
  12. Chill the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to let flavors meld and cake soak properly.

Notes

Pat berries dry to avoid watery layers. Use chilled ingredients to maintain structure. Avoid overwhipping cream. Chill trifle at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor. For dairy-free, use coconut whipped cream and dairy-free yogurt. For gluten-free, use gluten-free angel food cake or lemon sponge cake.
