Red, White and Blue Trifle

It wasn’t too long ago that I made a Strawberries and Cream Angel Food Cake Trifle that was a HUGE hit with the family. The kids have been begging to have it again and with strawberry season ending soon I knew I just had to make this yummy treat at least once more.

Rewind to a few weeks ago when I saw this recipe via Pinterest from Betty Crocker for a Red, White and Blue Trifle that looked like a patriotic version of my trifle. I knew I had to make it because it just looks so pretty and festive. The recipe didn’t call for angel food cake which is one of my favorite parts of the trifle, but no worries – it was just as delicious!!

This easy treat is so fun to make and will be perfect for your upcoming Fourth of July celebrations. 🙂

Pretty, right? The best part about this dessert is it’s so nice and cool and refreshing and is perfect for the warm weather on Independence Day. 🙂
