Serve this berry trifle for summer entertaining
This berry trifle is a show-stopping dessert on any sweets table and especially for 4th of July. It’s sort of a no-brainer for any patriotic holiday since the red and blue berries layered with the white ganache filling is so perfectly tailored to the occasion. I first made it about 8 years ago for a summer party we hosted, and everyone loved it!
I got the recipe from HGTV, back when they used to air a few shows on entertaining. It’s delicious and light, and maybe you won’t feel TOO guilty about eating it since it’s filled with fruit!
This red, white, and blue berry trifle looks impressive but is quite easy to make. You can make it a day ahead for stress-free planning, and for a fun alternative you can break up the cake and make mini trifles inside jars or stemmed glasses, to serve individually.
