Red, White, and Blue Trifle image

A merging of a tasty British dessert with Fourth of July colors. A trifle is a traditional English summertime treat and makes a great addition to barbeques and picnics in the US as well. We make this every Fourth of July and Memorial Day, but it is tasty any time.

Time 2h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 eggs
1 ½ cups white sugar
⅓ cup butter, softened
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
2 cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whipping cream
½ cup white sugar
4 cups sliced strawberries
4 cups blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch glass baking pan.
  • Beat eggs until very light, about 3 minutes. Add sugar and butter. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add to the egg mixture in batches, alternating with milk, beating batter briefly after each addition. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • In the meantime, make the custard. Whisk sugar, flour, and salt together in a saucepan over low heat. Add milk and eggs. Cook, stirring frequently, until custard thickens, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla extract. Store custard in a glass container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Combine cream and sugar; whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  • Cut the cake into 2- or 3-inch squares. Place a layer of cake on the bottom of a trifle dish. Add enough custard to cover the cake. Add a layer of strawberries and a layer of blueberries. Cover with some of the whipped cream. Top with another layer of cake. Repeat until the final layer is either custard or whipped cream. Arrange remaining berries decoratively on top.
  • Cover trifle with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 box red velvet cake mix, about 18 ounces (if you can't find red velvet cake use 1 box chocolate cake plus a bottle of red food coloring)
1 (16-ounce) tub whipped topping
2 pints blueberries
1 pint strawberries, tops removed

Steps:

  • Bake the red velvet cake mix according to package directions and allow to cool.
  • Using a serrated knife cut the red velvet cake into 1-inch square pieces and line the bottom of the trifle bowl with half of the cake squares.
  • Using a spatula, spread about a 2-inch layer of whipped topping on top of the cake squares.
  • Layer about 1 1/2 pints of the blueberries on top of whipped topping.
  • Layer the remaining cake pieces on top of the blueberries forming a second layer of cake.
  • Using a spatula, spread remaining whipped topping over the cakes pieces.
  • Decorate the perimeter with the strawberries; placing the strawberries cut side down. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top of the trifle inside the strawberry perimeter.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh berries: This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your trifle.
  • Make sure your angel food cake is completely cool before assembling the trifle: Otherwise, it will be too soft and difficult to handle.
  • If you don't have time to make your own angel food cake, you can use a store-bought one: Just make sure it's a good quality cake.
  • Be generous with the whipped cream: It's what makes the trifle so rich and decadent.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: You could use different fruits, different types of cake, or even different liqueurs.

Conclusion:

Red, white, and blue trifle is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any patriotic holiday. It's easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a festive dessert, give this trifle a try. You won't be disappointed.
