Oh, and pretty! Trifle's are just pretty. One of my favorite desserts to make! If you are spending a lot of time on the rest of the meal and don't want to have to worry about making a difficult dessert, it's perfect. It can be a great summertime dessert because it's light and involves berries, but also is great following a "heavier" meal any time of year.
You can get a basic glass trifle bowl at Walmart for under $7. I have also prepared this in individual servings using wine glasses which is very cute. For me, the store bought pound cakes work amazingly in this.
All the ingredients you need!
Prepare your strawberries.
Add sugar and allow your berries to macerate in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Doing this makes even off season strawberries delish!
Cut your pound cake into bite size cubes and roll each piece around in amaretto liqueur. One of my favorite aroma's.
Place a layer of pound cake in the bottom of your trifle bowl.
Whip up some cream. I add a little powdered sugar to mine. I would say it's definitely worth the extra effort to make your whipped cream.
...another layer.
Oh, the strawberries look all nice & shiny!
Add blueberries for 4th of July!
You can continue with as many layers as you want depending on how many you're serving or how long you want to keep it in your fridge. :)
Garnish with chocolate shavings or mint if you have either around!
