Very Berry Trifle (And They'd Never Guess It was Fat Free!)

Ladibugz's Note:

This is my most requested items when I'm coming to a potluck. It makes a beautiful presentation and has delicious sweet but light flavor. If I have enough time I sprinkle the fruit with some Splenda a few hours before prep time to sweeten them up some if needed.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 15

• 1 store bought angel food cake
• 1 (1 ounce) box cheesecake flavored pudding , prepared with skim milk (I use instant pudding for ease, but either works- as long as you allow time for cooked pudding to co)
• 8 ounces fat-free whipped topping
• 1 (16 ounce) container strawberries , sliced
• ½ pint blueberries
• ½ pint blackberry

Directions:

1. Ready a deep clear glass bowl (trifle dish if you have one!).
2. Cut cake into chunks, approx 1 1/2" cubes (no need for perfection though!).
3. Layer 1/2 the cake chunks on bottom half of bowl, spreading out as much as possible.
4. Sprinkle 1/2 the strawberries, blueberries and blackberries (set aside one of each berry as garnish if you'd like) over the cake layer. Strategically place a few against the glass for prettier presentation.
5. Pour 1/2 pudding over previous layers, trying to cover or 'seal in' the cake and berries.
6. Repeat steps 3-5.
7. For top layer, spread whipped topping over previous layers.
8. Garnish with remaining berries.
9. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

I actually ended up using 1 1/2 angel food cakes for this, added no extra sweetener and let is set in the fridge for a few hours before serving. It was absolutely yummy and my family all came back for healthified seconds. ;) Thanks for posting this. I will definitely make this again.

I made this for the 4th of July and it was an absolute hit! It was the only thing that completely went (and there were a lot of other good looking desserts there too) and I received many compliments. I omitted the blackberries and used whole milk for the pudding. Thanks for posting such an easy and delicious dessert! I'm submitting a pic as well...
