The Angel food cake adds a touch of lightness to the trifle while the custard brings in a creamy richness. The mixed berries not only add color but provide tart offsets to the sweet components of the dish. If you can’t find angel food cake, a light sponge cake will work just as well!

How To Make Angel Berry Trifle

1. First off, get your large trifle dish ready. Crumble your angel food cake and lay a layer at the bottom of the dish.
2. Take your fruit jelly and smoothly layer it over the angel cake. Then sprinkle a hefty amount of mixed berries evenly.
3. The next layer is your lush, smooth custard. Make sure it covers the berries fully, then repeat the process with another layer of each component.
4. Finally, whip your heavy cream until it forms soft peaks and layer that over the top. Add an extra sprinkle of berries for the final flourish, and you’re done!

Tips For The Best Results

• Use fresh berries for a more intense flavor and brilliant color.
• Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.

Storage Tips
