4th of July Trifle

This recipe comes from Gina's Skinny Recipes (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/06/red-white-and-blueberry-trifle.html). I saw this recipe about a week ago and thought it would be perfect for the holiday.

Being that today is the 4th of July, this dessert definitely shows its patriotism. :) This is a simple, delicious dessert that is perfect for a backyard bbq. We have plans with friends tonight and this is what we are taking for the bbq.  I also love this dessert because it has fruit in it, which is always a big bonus in my opinion. When you think of bbq's, you don't necessarily think about eating healthy/nutritiously. This allows you to enjoy something sweet, but a little healthier than something like pie, cookies, or cakes.

I didn't change anything in this recipe, so this is the same recipe that is on Gina's cooking blog.

Recipe:
Serves 12-14 people

Ingredients:
Angel Food Cake - at least 10 oz
2 pints of strawberries - sliced
2 pints of blueberries

6 tablespoons of fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups of cold water
1 small package of Sugar Free White Chocolate instant Pudding
1 12oz fat free cool whip - thawed

Directions:
-Cut angel food cake into small squares
-Wash and dry off strawberries and blueberries
- In a bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and water and stir well.
-Add package of sugar free white chocolate pudding mix and stir for about 2 minutes.
-Gently combine thawed cool whip with mixture.

-In a trifle bowl, put half the angel food cake squares in the bottom of the bowl.
-Add about 1/2 of the blueberries
-Add 1/2 of the pudding mixture on top of that
-Add about 1/2 of the strawberry slices on top of the pudding mixture.

-You can get creative with the top of the trifle and decorate it how you wish.
-Cover and refrigerate for no less than an hour.

*Suggestions
-I used a sugar free angel food cake from the Walmart Bakery
-I think you could use different flavors of pudding mix with this recipe. I think next time I will try it with french vanilla pudding or cheesecake flavored pudding.
