PATRIOTIC TRIFLE
RECIPE BY THE GIRL WHO ATE EVERYTHING
INGREDIENTS
2 cups heavy cream
½ cup white sugar
2 cups milk
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant cheesecake pudding mix
2 teaspoons lemon juice
½ cup sour cream
2 (10.75 ounce) packages prepared pound cake
2 (16 ounce) carton strawberries, sliced
Strawberries for garnish
Blueberries for garnish
DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium bowl, combine cream and white sugar and beat until
stiff peaks form. Set aside. You want a stiffer whipped cream for
trifle so that it holds up over time.
2. In another bowl, beat cheesecake pudding mixes with milk for 2
minutes or until thick. Mix in sour cream and lemon juice. Fold in
one cup of the sweetened whipped cream.
3. Slice pound cake into one-inch cubes.
4. In a trifle bowl, start by layering ¼ of the pound cake on the
bottom of the trifle bowl (a large glass bowl can be used if you don’t
have a trifle bowl). Next, layer ¼ of the pudding mixture, followed by
a layer of ¼ of the strawberries. To make trifle look presentable, make
sure each layer is distinct and separate, especially on the sides of the
bowl. Repeat layers four times or until bowl is almost full.
5. Garnish the top of the trifle with the remaining whipped cream,
strawberries and blueberries.

in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for 1 month)
3 ounces of peach nectar or white peach puree (peel peaches, remove
pit and puree in a blender with a small amount of water)

hours or up to 48 hours.
