Equipment

  • 8 Glasses (That hold about 1½ cups of contents, each)

Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz Angel Food Cake, cut into 8ths
  • 8 Vanilla Pudding Snack Packs, 3.25 oz each
  • 4 cups chopped strawberries
  • Whipped Cream, for topping
  • Pomegranate Seeds, for topping

Instructions

  • Take ⅛ of the angel food cake and cut it up into small, bite sized pieces. Place half of those pieces in the bottom of the serving glass (this should be 1/16 of the entire cake, or ½ of the chunk that you are working with).
  • Layer in ½ of the vanilla pudding snack pack and then ¼ cup of strawberries.
  • Next, place the second half of the cut up angel food cake into the serving glass (again, 1/16 of the entire cake).
  • Layer with the remainder of the pudding cup and another ¼ cup of strawberries.
  • Top with whipped cream and pomegranate seeds to serve.
  • Repeat for the remaining serving glasses. Enjoy!

Notes

Recipe copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only. 
  1. Angel Food Cake: I purchased an Angel Food Cake from the bakery section of my local grocery store. You can also make homemade angel food cake for more of a personal touch. 
  2. Vanilla Pudding Snack Packs: I used the snack packs with 3.25 ounce cups each. You could also use one box of vanilla or white chocolate instant pudding mix, prepared. Feel free to substitute other pudding flavors if you’d prefer. 
  3. Chopped Fresh Strawberries: Substitute or add other berries for even more flavor! 
  4. Whipped Cream: For topping
  5. Pomegranate Seeds: You can buy the seeds already ready at the grocery store, or remove them from your own pomegranate!
  6. It may be helpful to slice your angel food cake into eight large pieces first to ensure each cup gets an equal amount, rather than trying to eyeball it for each cup.
  7. Try not to make this too far in advance. You don’t want your strawberries or your cream to wilt if you serve it the next day. This recipe is simple enough to put together just before serving.
  8. Feel free to whip your own heavy cream into soft peaks for the whipped cream on top, but store bought cool whip works just fine for this festive trifle!
  9. If you are not a fan of angel food cake, feel free to replace it with sponge cake, lady fingers or amaretti biscuits for your cake layers.
