Lisa’s Pound Cake & Fruit Trifle Recipe

April 21, 2015 by Lisa Pinney

IMG_1848

I’ve made this version of fruit trifle for years, most of the time with Angel Food Cake or Sara Lee Strawberry Pound Cake…this week, I used my own  Pound Cake that fell apart after baking…because it was still really delicious!

Let’s get started!
 
Whisk the pudding and milk and then let it thicken a couple of minutes while you get the fruit together…

Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir well to combine…

Fold in 1 of the 8 oz containers of cool whip until blended…

In your trifle bowl, place a cake layer on first and then add 1/2 of the pudding mixture…

I put 1/2 the strawberries on next…

then the pineapple…

and the bananas…
 
then repeat the layers again…

I found these little gems and decided I’d garnish the top with one of these and some crushed vanilla wafers…

Lisa’s Pound Cake & Fruit Trifle Recipe

  • Author: Lisa Pinney

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store bought or prepared angel food cake or pound cake loaf, torn into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 container strawberry glaze
  • 3 bananas, sliced
  • 1 can pineapple tidbits (20 oz.), drained
  • 1 package (1.4 oz.) fat free instant banana pudding ( you can also use vanilla or cheesecake flavor if you like)
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 2 containers cool whip

Instructions

Combine the strawberries with the glaze. Slice the banana and sprinkle with a bit of lemon juice. Drain the pineapple. Set all the fruit aside.

In a medium sized bowl, add pudding packet and 2 cups cold skim milk. Whisk for 2 minutes until it starts to thicken, set aside.

Next, stir in the sweetened condensed milk and 1 container of cool whip.

In your trifle bowl, layer pieces of the pound cake, strawberries, bananas, pineapple, and then the pudding mixture; repeat.

Place the remaining 8 oz cool whip on top.

I crumbled a few Vanilla Wafers on top…just because!

See, even when a previous recipe goes wrong, just a few more ingredients can turn it into something most delicious!
