List of Ingredients
Memorial Day Dessert for a Crowd
1 cake mix
2 packets of custard or pudding mix
2 bags, 1 lb. each, frozen fruit or equivalent sliced fresh fruit
1/3 C sugar (more or less to taste)
1 1/2 C heavy cream, whipped (or to save time, use whipped topping)
additional fresh fruit for garnish
1/3 C sherry or other liquor (optional)
Recipe
Prepare cake according to directions on package. Let cool completely.
Prepare custard or pudding mix according to package instructions. Let cool completely.
Mix fruit with sherry and fruit. If you don't want to use alcohol, use a little water or juice instead. You want the fruit to be sitting, but not swimming, in a bit of sweetened juice.
Whip the cream.
To assemble:
Trifle is very forgiving, it takes no effort to make it look great! If you don't have a trifle bowl, like the one in the photo, use any large glass bowl. It doesn't technically have to be glass, but it looks prettier if it is. You can also make individual servings by placing the layers in large wine goblets.
Cut the cakes into large chunks and cover the bottom of your dish with a layer of cake. Top with a layer of prepared fruit, then a layer of custard. Repeat the process until you are out of ingredients or the bowl is full. Top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh fruit. Chill until serving time.
To Serve:
Simply scoop out servings with a large spoon.
