Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Base
  • 1 Instant Sugar-Free Vanilla Pudding Provides a creamy, stable base for the trifle; feel free to use any flavor for a fun twist.
  • 1.5 cups Milk To mix with the pudding for a thicker texture; use slightly less than the package suggests for best results.
  • 1 cup Vanilla Yogurt Adds tanginess while keeping the dessert light and refreshing.
  • 6 oz Cream Cheese Offers a rich, smooth creaminess; ensure it's at room temperature to avoid clumps.
  • 0.5 cup Sour Cream Enhances creaminess and tang; can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
  • 12 oz Whipped Cream Lightens the creamy mixture; you can use Cool Whip or homemade for a fresh flavor.
For the Trifle Layers
  • 1 Angel Food Cake The base layer cut into cubes; both store-bought or homemade options work great.
For the Berry Medley
  • 2 cups Strawberries (chopped) Sweet and juicy, make sure to use fresh for optimal flavor.
  • 2 cups Raspberries Adds color and a slight tartness that beautifully balances the sweetness.
  • 2 cups Blackberries Complements sweetness and provides a delightful textural contrast in the trifle.

Equipment

  • trifle bowl or clear glass dessert dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Angel Food Berry Trifle
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant sugar-free vanilla pudding with 1½ cups of milk until it thickens, which should take about 2 minutes. Set aside to firm up.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the room-temperature cream cheese, vanilla yogurt, and sour cream. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Fold in the pudding mixture and half of the whipped cream until well incorporated.
  3. Layer ⅓ of the angel food cake cubes at the bottom of a trifle bowl, followed by ⅓ of the creamy filling, half of the remaining whipped cream, and ⅓ of the vibrant berries.
  4. Repeat the layering process with more angel food cake cubes, creamy filling, remaining whipped cream, and another ⅓ of the berries.
  5. Cover the trifle and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

Thicker pudding can be achieved by using slightly less milk. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Assembling in advance enhances the flavor.
