Easter Trifles Recipe
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 10-12 (9oz cup trifles)
Ingredients
1 premade angel food cake
3 cups cold milk
5.1 oz package vanilla (or white chocolate or cheesecake) pudding mix
1 8 oz container whipped topping
Food coloring – pastel blue, pink, purple, yellow, green, or any combination
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the cold milk and pudding mix. Whisk for about 2 minutes and thoroughly combined. Set aside for about 5 minutes to begin setting up.
- Cut the angel food cake into 1-inch sized cubes.
- Add the whipped topping to the pudding mix and fold until thoroughly combined.
- Divide the filling between four different bowls. Tint with food colorings of choice – we chose blue, purple, pink and yellow.
- To assemble – begin with a layer of the cubed angel food cake pieces in your 9-ounce or similar sized containers.
- Spoon a layer of each tinted filling into each trifle cup. We chose to pair yellow with blue and pink with purple, but you can adjust or change accordingly.
- Top with another layer of the angel food cake.
- Finally, add another layer of the pudding filling, contrasting with the one previously used. Each cup should have two different colors of pudding filling.
- If serving at a later time, cover and refrigerate.
- When ready to serve – Insert a Peeps bunny marshmallow and sprinkle a few M&M candies around the bunny.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Trifles can be stored in the fridge and covered for up to 2 days. The M&M candies will begin to bleed into the pudding filling, so we recommend finishing the assembly just prior to serving.
