Prep: 30 min. + chilling

Yield: 16-20 Servings

30 30

Ingredients

1 package (3 ounces) berry blue gelatin
1 package (3 ounces) strawberry gelatin
2 cups boiling water
1 cup cold water
2 cups cold milk
2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
1 pint fresh blueberries
1 quart fresh strawberries, quartered
1 prepared angel food cake (8 to 10 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions

In two small bowls, combine each gelatin flavor with 1 cup boiling water. Stir 1/2 cup cold water into each. Pour each into an ungreased 9-in. square pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping.
Set aside 1/4 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup strawberries for garnish. Cut the gelatin into 1-in. cubes. In a 3-qt. trifle bowl or serving dish, layer the strawberry gelatin, half of the cake cubes, the remaining blueberries and half of the pudding mixture.
Top with blue gelatin and remaining cake cubes, strawberries and pudding mixture. Garnish with reserved berries and remaining whipped topping. Serve immediately. Yield: 16-20 servings.

The recipe was easy to make and a delight to look at. I do think I prefer trifles without jell-o however!

Very Easy, used non-fat Reddi Whip in can for final servings instead of frozen non-dairy topping

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.
