I won first prize in a dairy recipe contest with this tasty trifle. You can double the recipe and make two for large groups. —Norma Steiner, Monroe, Wisconsin
In a large bowl, beat the milk, sour cream, pudding mix and orange zest on low speed until thickened. Fold in whipped cream.
Place half of the cake cubes in a 3-qt. glass bowl. Arrange a third of the strawberries around sides of bowl and over cake; top with half of the pudding mixture. Repeat layers once. Top with remaining berries. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
Test Kitchen Tips
To avoid squishing light-as-air angel food cake, freeze it overnight, then cut it with a serrated knife, using a back-and-forth motion.
One tablespoon orange liqueur in the sour cream mixture adds a special touch.

I made this for Easter. It was easy, not too sweet and gone before I knew it! A dessert I will come back to make again and again!

This was a hit with my book club. Beautiful presentation and delicious. I love that it uses real homemade whipped cream and isn’t overly sweet. The angel food cake holds it sponginess and the texture is perfect with the Light creaminess of the pudding. The only change I made was to add a Tablespoon of sugar to the sliced berries To bring out the juices. I sliced, sugared the berries and left them in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning I made the whipped cream and pudding and assembled. This made it quick to put together in the morning. I then refrigerated the trifle for 2 hours before serving. Lynne

My family and I loved this! I adapted it to be sugar-free by using a Pillsbury sugar-free yellow cake mix. I used a small amount of powdered sugar (regular) to lightly sweeten the whipped cream, however, along with vanilla. It was a hit, even to the kids! No one knew it was sugar-free until I told them!

Made this today for Easter. Thought the sour cream made for a very sour flavor.

Made this for a Memorial Day Party. Absolutely delicious!!! Tip: Instead of sour cream, I used Greek yogurt. It was perfect!

An easy, light and refreshing dessert. The orange peel in the whipped cream/pudding mixture is delicious.

The preparation was so easy and resulted in a delicious dessert that looked fabulous for our family Christmas get together. I defrosted about a cup of frozen strawberries and sprinkled them with a tablespoon of sugar. I put this on the bottom just to add some sweetness and my daughter said that she really liked this addition. The top of the dessert was not white like in the picture so next time I would cover the top with canned whipped cream to give it a better finish. This will be my go to dessert for a crowd from now on!
