Ingredients
  • 24 Ladyfingers
  • 4 cups Fresh Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 3.4 oz Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 3 cups Milk
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 4 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Prepare the Custard

In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk according to the package directions. Let it stand for 5 minutes to thicken.

Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-beat.

Assemble the Trifle

Line the bottom of a trifle bowl or large glass bowl with a layer of ladyfingers. You may need to break them to fit. Sprinkle half of the berries evenly over the ladyfingers.

Layering

Spread half of the prepared custard over the berries. Then, spread half of the whipped cream over the custard. Repeat the layers: ladyfingers, remaining berries, remaining custard, and remaining whipped cream.

Chill and Serve

Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, garnish with extra berries if desired.
