Fruit Trifle

Img_7011

This recipe is pretty quick & easy and a perfect summer dessert. It's also pretty healthy, so you can eat it guilt free! :)

Here's what you need:
1 Angel Food cake
1 pound of fresh strawberries, stemmed & sliced
2 bananas, peeled & sliced
1 pint of fresh blueberries
3 kiwis, peeled & sliced
1 container of fat free whipped topping
1 package of instant vanilla pudding

First, make the Angel Food cake. Or, if you buy an already-made one, skip this step :)

While the cake is baking, cut up the strawberries, bananas, and kiwis.

Then, because that won't take very long, take a break and love on your dog.

And make the instant vanilla pudding.

Then, after the cake cools, layer in a big glass bowl. First a layer of Angel Food cake, then layer 1/2 of the fruit, then 1/2 of the pudding, then 1/2 the container of whipped topping. Then repeat the layers, beginning with the cake and ending with whipped topping. I also added strawberries on the very top because we had plenty left over, and I thought it was pretty :)

Then serve & enjoy!!

It's delicious and refreshing! I'm thinking trying it next time with maybe some other fruits. I think peaches would be scrumptious!
