Ingredients
Trifle Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 pound cake cut into cubes
Cream Mixture
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the raspberries and blueberries thoroughly. Place them in separate bowls and add a tablespoon of sugar to each. Let them macerate for about 30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
- Start with a layer of pound cake cubes at the bottom of the trifle dish. Add a layer of whipped cream, followed by a layer of raspberries. Repeat with blueberries, alternating layers until the dish is filled. Top with a final layer of whipped cream.
- Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
- Once chilled, remove the trifle from the refrigerator. Garnish with additional berries on top and serve chilled.
- Store leftover trifle covered in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
