PATRIOTIC BERRY TRIFLE

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup plus 2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 premade angel food cake, cut into 1-inch slices
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups heavy cream, at room temperature
2 pints blueberries
2 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup sugar, the lemon juice and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and stir in the almond extract.
  • Brush both sides of each slice of cake with the syrup. Cut the slices into 1-inch cubes.
  • Beat the remaining 2/3 cup sugar and the cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and light. Add the cream and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and the consistency of whipped cream.
  • Arrange half of the cake cubes in the bottom of a 13-cup trifle dish. Sprinkle evenly with a layer of blueberries. Dollop half of the cream mixture over the blueberries and gently spread. Top with a layer of strawberries. Layer the remaining cake cubes on top of the strawberries, then sprinkle with more blueberries and top with the remaining cream mixture. Finish with the remaining strawberries and blueberries, arranging them in a decorative pattern. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cake: A light and fluffy cake, such as a sponge cake or angel food cake, will work best for a trifle. Avoid dense cakes, such as chocolate cake or pound cake, as they will make the trifle too heavy.
  • Soak the cake in syrup: Soaking the cake in a simple syrup made with water and sugar will help to keep it moist and flavorful. You can also add a little bit of flavoring to the syrup, such as vanilla extract or almond extract.
  • Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit is the best choice for a trifle, as it will add a bright and refreshing flavor. Berries, peaches, and mangoes are all good choices.
  • Don't over-whip the cream: Over-whipped cream will be stiff and grainy. You want the cream to be light and fluffy, so whip it until it holds soft peaks.
  • Assemble the trifle carefully: Layer the cake, fruit, and whipped cream in a trifle bowl or individual serving glasses. Be careful not to press down on the layers too much, or the trifle will become too dense.

Conclusion:

A trifle is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a trifle that will impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give trifle a try!
