It's Trifle-ing!

Well, I thought I'd try something different that I've wanted to do for a while. I went to the local WalMart to buy a Trifle Dish and there were none on the shelf.....got someone to check their inventory and she said there is supposed to be one in the store.....but I ended up with a cake set.....got in the check-out line and the young lady in front of me had the last Trifle Dish in her shopping cart!!!!!  Oh well! Anyway, I thought this would be so simple, but it's a tad more 'involved' than I anticipated. First I didn't make the cake until today.....should've made it yesterday. Then I forgot to take both bags of blueberries out of the freezer as well as the whipped topping. And then I forgot to buy milk so I had to make it (I keep powdered milk on hand for cooking) before I could make the pudding. Then I had to slice the strawberries. And THEN I could put it all together. Was it worth it? You betcha!!!!

TRIFLE

Makes 12 Servings

1 Serving = 3 PointsPlus™

1 Angel Food cake mix

2 (1 oz. each) packages Sugar Free/Fat Free White Chocolate Jell-O pudding
@3 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
@ 1 cup strawberry sauce (see My Spin)
@20 fresh strawberries, hulled & sliced
1/2 of 8 oz. container of Fat Free whipped topping

Make the Angel Food cake according to the package instructions. You will, however, only use 1/2 of the cake for this.



Make the pudding according to the package instructions.

To assemble the Trifle:

Make sure the cake is completely cooled. Cut the cake into large chunks and cover the bottom of the trifle dish. Top with strawberry sauce, a layer of pudding, a layer of blueberries, a layer of pudding and the final layer will be the fat free whipped topping.

 Garnish with sliced strawberries and blueberries.

REFRIGERATE!!!!!

My Spin: I made my own strawberry sauce using mashed fresh strawberries.  The combinations for a Trifle can be endless.....you can use different flavors of pudding as well as different fruits. Experiment!!!

I put some blue squiggles/balloons and silver stars in the upside down base of the cake set. Then I put some festive napkins around the base.....thanx Susan B for the napkins and plates!
