Easy Strawberry Blueberry Trifle Recipe

This Easy Strawberry Blueberry Trifle Recipe is great for Memorial Day or 4th of July! Leave off the chocolate stars and you have a fun dessert to pack in a picnic or take to a potluck!

Trifles are one of my favorite desserts to make and serve – actually I think they might just be my favorite. The flavor combinations are endless. In addition to the fruit in this strawberry blueberry trifle recipe there is white cake, and pudding mixed with whipped topping. And for even more fun, sprinkles and red chocolate stars that are so fun for Memorial Day or 4th of July celebrations.

Trifle – a  Scottish dessert made from thick pudding, custard, fruit, cake of some variety, and whipped cream, arranged in layers, has also become a very popular dessert here in the States. And in my opinion, one of the easiest and most impressive desserts you can make.

I like serving them in individual servings, mostly because it’s fun to decorate them, but it’s also a lot easier. These Strawberry Blueberry Trifles can have a lid on them and packed in a cooler for a picnic or potluck too.

We served the Easy Strawberry Blueberry Trifle Recipe for our Printable Memorial Day BBQ Party – watch for those FREE Printables on Monday!

To add the red chocolate stars all you need are 2 items –

• Red Candy Melts
• Plastic Star Mold

Instructions:

1. Melt about 10-15 candy disks in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir and continue heating for 30 seconds at a time, stirring well in between heating.
2. Remove from microwave just before candy is melted, stir until completely smooth.
3. Pour melted chocolate into a plastic squeeze bottle or use a spoon to add melted chocolate to star mold.
4. Place in refrigerator about 10 minutes or until firm.
