Patriotic Berry Trifle
“Macrayla's berry trifle is beautiful and would make a wonderful centerpiece for your dessert table. It tastes just as good as it looks. The base is a pre-made angel food cake that's brushed with a tangy lemon simple syrup. In between layers of fresh blueberries and strawberries is a light and fluffy cream cheese whipped cream. Once assembled, this is a delightful summer treat. Since it's red, white, and blue, you can enjoy this at your Memorial Day, 4th of July, or Labor Day cookout.” - Kitchen Crew
Oreo Cheesecake Trifle
“Oreo Cheesecake Trifle in disposable cups makes easy, individual desserts for picnics, socials, and cookouts. This dessert has layers of rich, moist chocolate cake, light and fluffy Oreo pudding, and crushed Oreo cookies.” - Paula
Italian Peach Melba Trifle
“Peach & raspberries are a flavor marriage made in heaven! This dessert isn't only beautiful, it tastes out of this world. A fluffy whipped cream layer has a slight raspberry flavor. The raspberry mixture soaks into the yummy ladyfingers and peaches. The alcohol is not cooked out, but there isn't a harsh alcohol flavor. Guests will think it took hours to prepare. No need for them to know how easy it is to make.” - Kitchen Crew
Strawberry Shortcake Trifle
“This makes a great summer dessert. I originally modified this dessert to include shortbread cake instead of angel food cake. It's much better this way and gives it a true strawberry shortcake taste.” - Michael
Hawaiian Dream Trifle
“I love the combined flavors of pineapple, toasted coconut, and macadamia nuts. I combined these flavors with angel food cake and coconut cream pudding for a light ‘tropical’ dessert.” - Susan
Strawberry and Chocolate Brownie Trifle
“A trifle is always a great dessert, but the cream layer makes this strawberry brownie one exceptional. Mascarpone is similar to tangy cream cheese and decadent. Adding balsamic takes the creamy layer to the next level. We love the combination of chocolate, strawberry, and balsamic flavors. It's impressive to present and easy to make!” - Kitchen Crew
