Quick and Easy Berry Trifle - Foodie Flicks

by Monika Bartyzel, Posted Jun 5th 2009 @ 11:00AM

If there's one thing that can beat all the baking restrictions the summer imposes, it's a deliciously layered trifle. There's no baking, no freezing and it only takes a fraction of the time a dessert cooked in the oven requires.

This video comes to us from Simple Foodie, which revels in quick and easy ways to satiate the appetite. If you're tight on time, simply buy a pound cake and whipped cream from the store and macerate the seasonal berries before layering the trifle. (If you have a touch more time and are feeling motivated, turn a perfectly fine dessert into a real winner by dolloping on some homemade whipped cream, because let's face it -- Cool Whip just isn't the same thing).

What's your favorite trifle combo?

I bake or buy a plain poundcake, brush it generously with a mixture of lemon simple syrup and limoncello, cut it into cubes, then layer it with blueberries and creme anglaise or pastry cream, which I've added some lemon zest to as I'm making it. Then I top with piped whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds before serving. This time, I'm toying with the idea of mixing the creme anglaise with marscapone.
