Ingredients
- 6.8 ounces (two 3.4-ounce) instant white chocolate pudding (Jello brand recommended)
- 4 cups cold whole milk
- 14 ounces store-bought angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 16 ounces (two 8-ounce) containers thawed whipped topping

Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: Follow the package instructions for the instant white chocolate pudding using cold milk. Chill until set.
- Layer the Trifle: In a 3.25-quart trifle bowl, start by creating a single layer of 1-inch angel food cake cubes at the bottom.
- Add the Pudding: Spoon half of the prepared white chocolate pudding over the cake cubes, spreading it evenly.
- Layer the Berries: Arrange sliced strawberries along the edges of the bowl for decoration, then add a layer of sliced strawberries over the pudding.
- Add Blueberries: Layer the blueberries over the strawberries, ensuring that they are patted dry to avoid excess moisture.
- Whipped Topping: Spread one container of thawed whipped topping over the blueberries.
- Repeat the Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining cake cubes, pudding, strawberries, and blueberries, ensuring a visually appealing arrangement.
- Top the Trifle: Finish with the second container of whipped topping on top of the berries.
- Decorate: Garnish the top with remaining sliced strawberries and blueberries to give a festive appearance.
- Chill: Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a more decadent version, you can use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought whipped topping.
- The trifle can be assembled the day before, just make sure to keep it refrigerated until serving.
