I think it would be GREAT to add blueberries or pineapple (instead of the strawberries) to this mix too.

Strawberry TrifleWhat is a Trifle ?
A Trifle is a cold English dessert consisting of layers of cake soaked in brandy or sherry ( in this case just the juice of the strawberries) layered with fruit and pudding or custard . Topped with whipped cream or whipped topping.
Top of TrifleStrawberries are without a doubt one of my favorite fruits. I love desserts made with them and have shared many including Mile High Strawberry Jello Pie, Strawberry Dole Whip and No Bake Strawberry Pie Baby. Using Strawberries to make this trifle was perfect with angel food cake , pudding and cool whip. Angel food cake is so light and airy and soaks up the strawberry sauce well.
Strawberry TrifleCan Trifle Be Made Ahead ?
Generally everything that goes in the trifle will keep in the refrigerator for several days . Therefore it is safe to make a head of time . I wouldn't do it to far ahead for it to look its best , I would say 24 hours.
Can I Switch Up the Ingredients ?
Absolutely you can swap out the fruits or maybe add additional. Strawberry , Blueberry or Strawberry Banana are great combos. I think my next attempt , I am going to try using brownies and cherry pie filling - it sounds so yummy.

How long does whipped cream last on a trifle?
We recommend serving anytime between 4 and 24 hours after the trifle is made. However, for the best presentation, hold off on adding the top whipped cream layer until just before serving. Store your trifle in the refrigerator, tightly covered. If cared for properly, trifle should last three days.How do you make angel food cake cool?
Remove from the oven, then cool the cake completely upside-down set on a wire rack, about 3 hours. (Upside-down so the bottom of the tube pan is right-side up, see photo and video above.) Once cooled, run a thin knife around the edges and gently tap the pan on the counter until the cake releases.What do you eat with angel cake?
