Description

This Raspberry Trifle is a quick and delightful dessert featuring layers of vanilla angel food cake, fresh raspberries, raspberry jam, and whipped cream. Perfect for a light and fruity treat, it comes together in minutes and serves beautifully in stemless wine glasses, making it ideal for entertaining or a simple indulgence.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons raspberry jam or preserves
  • 2 two-inch thick slices vanilla angel food cake (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
  • 1 container fresh raspberries, rinsed and dried (6 ounces)
  • 2 cups prepared whipped cream
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the Jam: Place raspberry jam in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 10 to 15 seconds or until the jam just begins to soften, making it easier to layer.
  2. First Layer: Arrange a layer of vanilla angel food cake cubes at the bottom of each of two (13 ounce or larger) stemless wine glasses. Add a layer of fresh raspberries on top of the cake cubes.
  3. Add Jam and Whipped Cream: Spoon 1/4 of the softened raspberry jam evenly over the raspberries in each glass, then layer 1/4 of the prepared whipped cream over the jam.
  4. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with another layer of cake cubes, raspberries, jam, and whipped cream, ensuring each glass has two layers of each ingredient.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the trifles with any leftover cake crumbs, a whole raspberry, and fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to chill before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of raspberry liqueur or vanilla extract to the whipped cream.
  • If angel food cake is unavailable, pound cake or sponge cake can be substituted.
  • Prepare and assemble the trifle shortly before serving to maintain the texture of the cake and freshness of the berries.
  • If refrigerating, cover the glasses to prevent drying out or absorbing refrigerator odors.
