This is the perfect summer dessert.

This is the perfect dessert for me.

My favorite cake is angel food cake and I have a small obsession with berries.


So when I combine the two…. I fall in love.

I just wanted to recommend a couple recipes to all of you out there.

First is this homemade angel food cake recipe from Martha.
You can buy one in a hurry and make this dessert really easily.
You can also make it from a box mix for just a couple of dollars.
Or you can go all out and make it like my Martha. It is heaven. Period. End of story.
Once I made it this way, I haven’t gone back.

Okay, let me get back to the main idea here.
You need to “cube” your heavenly cake.

Now layer your pudding-ish goodness.
I made the pudding layer according to a this recipe.
(I cut the amount of sour cream in half and I like it a little better).

Then the berries. Oh… the berry goodness. {Sigh}
These were from the grocery store and were great, but the fruit stand’s berries are even better.

Layer it on up, until your trifle bowl is full to the brim.
Top it off with some good old cool whip, more berries and some mint leaves.

I also had some that didn’t fit in the bowl, so I made a little personal one.
Even though my husband calls this a “chick dessert,” he didn’t complain when he ate this:

How fab would these babies be at a shower or get-together?

I love to pass on the yumminess I’ve discovered! Enjoy!

p.s. Did I mention this is low fat! You now have official permission to make this. 🙂

p.p.s. If you’re a berry lover like me, also try Pioneer Woman’s blackberry cobbler. Yum!
