Easiest All American Trifle
This Patriotic Dessert Takes Only 20 Minutes To Make!
Although I’m Canadian, I can feel the energy and excitement for Independence Day all the way across the border. I envy the strong nationalism in the United States so much that when July 4th rolls around, I want to take part in the festivities. The best way I know how to do that is by baking a red, white and blue treat. And this year I found one so easy that I don’t even have to bake it! It’s from About.com and it’s called Patti’s All American Trifle. I altered the name a little because it really is the easiest trifle recipe I could find. It only takes 20 minutes to prep and assemble the delicious layers of vanilla pudding, whipped topping, berries and angel food cake. Not only is this dessert easy and quick, it also contains all the right colours for a patriotic celebration. Happy Independence Day!
