How to Make Strawberry Angel Food Trifle

Make a simple, light, tasty dessert that looks like a lot more work than it is! This is very popular for picnics, wedding showers, baby showers, and just for every day! I get asked for this recipe every time I bring it to a gathering.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Angelfood Cake
• Pint of fresh stawberries
• Large box of straberry gelatin
• Large container of Whipped Topping (like Cool Whip)

1. 
    

   Make the angel food cake according to the directions on the box mix. Let it cool completely.

2. 
    

   Meanwhile, make the strawberry gelatin in a large bowl. Put the bowl in the fridge to cool, but not set.

3. When the cake is cool, tear it into large bite sized pieces. Put these aside. Cut the strawberries into halves or smaller.

4. Mix the whipped topping into the liquid gelatin. Stir together until mostly smooth. It doesn't have to be perfect. Add in strawberries and mix.

5. 
    
   Trifle Bowl

   In the trifle bowl (or regular large bowl if you don't have one), put a layer of the cake pieces. Pour a layer of the gelatin mixture on top, enough to mostly cover the cake. Repeat this process to fill up the bowl, ending with gelatin.

6. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge overnight.

Tips & Warnings

• Can also be made as a raspberry dessert, substituting fresh raspberries and raspberry flavored gelatin
• Make sure to not let your gelatin set.
