Cook over medium heat while stirring. Keep stirring until it thickens to a creamy consistency. Once thickened, take it off the heat and mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Let it cool to room temperature before using. To cube the angel food cake, slice it into bite-sized pieces. Aim for cubes that are about one inch in size. This ensures that each spoonful of your trifle has a nice mix of cake and fruit. Make sure your cake is fresh for the best texture. If it's a bit stale, it may crumble too easily.

To thaw, place it in the fridge overnight before serving. To refresh trifle after being refrigerated, you can add a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Ingredients

1 cup whipped cream, chilled

4 cups angel food cake, cut into bite-sized cubes

2 tablespoons honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Fresh mint leaves for a fragrant garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pudding: If you opt for store-bought vanilla pudding, simply follow the package instructions to prepare it. For a homemade version, combine 2 cups of milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Place it over medium heat, constantly stirring until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature before using.

    Cube the Cake: Take your angel food cake and slice it into bite-sized cubes, aiming for about 4 cups in total. This will form the base of your trifle.

      Layer the Ingredients: In a large trifle dish or individual serving cups, begin by adding a generous layer of cake cubes at the bottom. Aim for an even coverage to create a solid base for your beautiful layers.

        Add Pudding & Fruit: Next, spoon a layer of the creamy vanilla pudding over the cake cubes. Follow this with a layer of sliced peaches, then scatter a handful of fresh blueberries over the top. If you like, drizzle a bit of honey over the fruit for an extra touch of sweetness.

          Repeat Layers: Continue the layering process, repeating the sequence: cake cubes, pudding, peaches, and blueberries, until your dish or cups are filled. Make sure to end with a luscious layer of whipped cream on top to create a soft and creamy finish.

            Chill: Once assembled, cover the trifle with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.

              Garnish and Serve: Just before you're ready to serve, add a decorative touch on top with fresh blueberries, a few sliced peaches, and aromatic mint leaves for an eye-catching presentation.
