How to Make a Berry Trifle

Assembling your berry trifle is not only easy, but it is fun as well! Trifles are the type of dessert where you can let your creativity shine.

First, whisk together the pudding mix and milk.

Allow the pudding to set a few minutes while you slice up your strawberries.

I sliced most of my strawberries thinly so that they would look nice pressed up against the glass in the trifle dish. I cut a few of the smaller berries in half to use to decorate the top of the trifle.

Okay, now starts the fun part! It is time to start assembling the layers of your berry trifle.

First, cover the bottom of the trifle dish with NILLA Wafers.

Then, add a layer of pudding.

Next, add a layer of berries. I pressed a few strawberries down into the pudding so that they would press up against the glass all the way around the dish.

    I wish you could come to my house and make this to me. Or ship it to me. But that would get really messy, wouldn’t it?
