Sometimes you want to bring something to a get together with friends that looks absolutely amazing but you just don’t have the time to make it. If this is you, then a trifle will be right up your alley! I love the clean, layered look of a trifle cake in a trifle bowl. They’re elegant looking but a seriously easy dessert to make! And I love too that you can make it in stages so you’re not having to spend a big chunk of time putting it all together.
My hubby and his team at work have been working so hard lately, so I wanted to give them a little pick me up for all the long hours they’ve been putting in. But of course, I didn’t think about making this gift until the last minute. I knew I wasn’t going to have time to bake the cake, let it cool and get it all assembled on the day I wanted to take it to them, so I baked the cake and mixed up the pudding the night before. It was perfect! The guys all loved the sweet treat and I got bonus wife points!
If you’d like to try making this light and tasty dessert, I’ve got the recipe right here for you.
Blackberry Cheesecake Trifle
Ingredients
- 1 white sheet cake already made
- 16 oz whipped topping
- 1 package of cheesecake pudding filling make according to package instructions
- 1 pint of blackberries
- fresh mint leaves optional
Instructions
- Cut the cake in 1 inch by 1 inch squares. Make sure to trim off the browned cake parts. Line the bottom of a trifle bowl with one layer of cake squares. I tend to put the prettier cake pieces on the outside of the bowl and use the trimmings to fill the center portion.
- Spread half the cheesecake filling across the top of the cake in the bowl.
- Spread about 1/3 of the whipped topping across the top of the cheesecake filling in the bowl.
- Layer half the blackberries across the top of the whipped topping in the bowl.
- Repeat these steps until the trifle bowl is filled. Top the trifle with the whipped topping, a couple blackberries, and a sprig of mint. Serve and enjoy! If you have any leftovers, make sure to refrigerate it.
