I love my trifle dish so I use any excuse to break it out. In fact, I nominated myself to make the dessert for our 4th of July celebration at my Mom’s house. I stumbled across a recipe for a festive “cake” in my Parents Magazine. They have great recipes! I, of course had to modify it so I could use my trifle dish because I think a trifle looks so grown-up. It was super easy and is really beautiful!

Ingredients:

Angel Food Cake (baked with love from the grocery store)

16 oz strawberries

1 container of blueberries

Strawberry Ice Cream (I like Strawberries and Homemade Vanilla from Bluebell)

2 tbsp sugar

Directions:

-Set your Ice Cream out because it needs to be soft

-Wash and slice your strawberries and mix them with 1 tbsp sugar. Wash your blueberries and also mix with 1 tbsp sugar and let sit for about 20 minutes.

-Take your Angel food cake and slice it right down the middle horizontally.

-Then you layer in this order:

1/2 cake

strawberries

ice cream

blueberries

1/2 cake

(I had extra strawberries so I put them on top.)

-Place in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hrs and Enjoy.
