Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Pudding
- 2 boxes (3.4 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 cups 2% milk
Pound Cake
- 2 boxes (16 ounces each) Sara Lee frozen pound cake, thawed
Fruit
- 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries (sliced before measuring)
Whipped Cream
- 8 ounces fresh whipped cream or 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: Follow the package directions by mixing the instant chocolate pudding mixes with the 4 cups of 2% milk. Once mixed, refrigerate to allow the pudding to set and thicken.
- Slice the pound cake: Cut the thawed pound cake into squares suitable for layering in your trifle dish.
- Assemble the first layer: Place a layer of pound cake squares at the bottom of a glass trifle bowl. Spread 2 cups of the prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the pound cake, followed by spreading 2 cups of whipped cream over the pudding layer.
- Add strawberries: Evenly distribute 2 cups of sliced strawberries over the whipped cream layer.
- Repeat layers: Repeat the layering process starting again with pound cake, then pudding, whipped cream, and finish with the remaining sliced strawberries on top.
- Serve: Serve the trifle immediately to enjoy the fresh, creamy, and fruity flavors combined.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh whipped cream with store-bought Cool Whip for convenience.
- Make sure to slice strawberries before measuring for accuracy.
- This dessert is best served fresh, as pound cake can become soggy if left too long.
- For added texture, consider toasting the pound cake lightly before assembling.
