Layers of Danielle's Strawberry Pineapple Pudding Trifle.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

You can never go wrong when you serve a trifle. The flavor combination of strawberries and pineapples is delicious. Placing the pound cake under the broiler adds a nice crunchy texture to the trifle. In between the pound cake is a sweet, tangy pudding layer. This easy dessert is not only delicious but beautiful when presented.

How To Make danielle's strawberry & pineapple pudding trifle

Step 1

Brush sliced cake pieces with melted butter and sprinkle with half of the sugar. Place on a buttered sheet pan and broil until the sugar starts to melt and the edges start to turn brown. Let it sit to cool.

Step 2

Blend cream cheese until smooth. Add in sugar and blend well. Make pudding in a separate bowl by combining Jell-O and 4 cups of cold milk. Then mix with the cream cheese mixture.
Step 3

Mix half of the Cool Whip and crushed pineapples; blend well.
Step 4

Place a few cake slices down, covering the bottom of a trifle bowl or a large sheet cake pan.
Step 5

Scatter 1/4 of the sliced strawberries over the cake.
Step 6

Cover with half of the pudding mixture.
Step 7

Scatter 1/4 strawberries over the pudding. Repeat this step using the rest of the pudding and saving a few slices of strawberries for the top. Spread Cool Whip evenly over the top and place remaining strawberries on top. Refrigerate, scoop with a big spoon, and enjoy.
