Followed the recipe exactly, was very good but the jello made it sloppy. So I made it again for a pool party without the jello and it was great! I will continue to make this without the jello.

My husband made this dessert for a fourth of July celebration we had a couple of days ago. It was a huge hit! And instead of making the actual jello and putting it in with the angel food cake, he mixed the jello with the cool whip and made it into a mousse. It turned out great and the angel food cake didn't get mushy from the jello melting. Would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone!!

Great recipe for the kids to make! Except for handling the boiling water for the jello, my kids were able to make this dessert with minimal supervision. I thought the jello, pudding, and cake combo might be a little weird, but we ended up really liking it. It might become a 4th of July staple at our house.

I love watching the Food Network and two different personalities had suggestions that are perfect for this recipe: Sandra Lee said that she will put the milk in the freezer for 15 minutes before mixing it up in her banana pudding. The second came from the Neely's. They made their own whipped cream by using 1 cup heavy cream, 4 Tbsp confectioners sugar and 1 tsp vanilla. Just mix the heavy cream for a couple of minutes, add the confectioner's sugar and mix until you have soft peaks. Fold in the vanilla.

I made this for a party and everyone else seemed to like it. I thought it was just okay. I didn't like to pudding/jello/cake combo. It really didn't really seem to go together. It looked nice until the first spoonful was taken out, then it started to look really messy. Something about the texture of jello and cake was weird. I would do it with the pudding, fruit, cake, and whipped topping or the jello, fruit and whipped topping but not with all of it together. Like I said, everyone else seemed to like it but me.

This was fun to take to a Memorial Day picnic at church. It was really pretty layered in the bowl, but didn't look as yummy once people started digging in. But it got eaten up with lots of smiles and requests for the recipe. I made a homemade angel food cake and added extra blueberries and strawberries. The trifle served TONS of people -- way more than the recipe said.

Good possiility for the weekend, with a few "light" changes! Well almost light, how about using pound cake instead of angel food. Double YUM!

Trifles always look like they take a lot of time to put together and are visually stunning. They are really very easy and this one really is fantastic for a patriotic holiday. All my grown children are extremely health conscious but with sugar-free and fat-free ingredients, they enjoy this dessert as much as my grandchildren.

Made this Sunday for a Memorial Day cookout at my aunt and uncle's. It was a BIG hit! I put one medium flag in the middle in remembrance of my uncle who passed who was a veteran of the Korean war. Instead of the extra mini-flags I taught the kids how to make pinwheels.

HUGE hit all around!

This dessert was the hit of our July 4th cookout. There were even people taking pictures of it! I used sugar free strawberry jello (no, there is currently no s/f blue jello) and pudding, 1% milk, and lite whipped topping. There was none left as everyone took home the little bit that was leftover from dinner!

Hi,

Since we have a diabetic in the family I'm always looking at ways to change the recipe to suit us.

I would use sugar free jello (at least strawberry - I'm not sure if they have sf berry blue). Low to no-fat milk, sf instant vanilla pudding and "whipped topping" FREE!

I have had all the changes I am suggesting at different times and they taste very good. This should be delightful even with my changes!

Thanks for the recipe.

I've made this twice and both events that I took this to, the people loved it. It's so quick & easy to make as long as you remember to get your jello going several hours before you need to make the trifle. I would highly recommend this recipe.
