A light, fresh, and easy no-bake berry trifle made with angel food cake, mixed berries, and a creamy yogurt-whipped topping mixture. Perfect for summer parties and last-minute desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Angel Food Cake, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • Mixed Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), fresh or frozen (thawed)
  • 8 oz whipped topping (cool whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Lemon zest from 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 oz whipped topping with 1 cup Greek yogurt. Add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gently fold until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Cut the angel food cake into approximately 1-inch cubes.
  3. Rinse fresh berries lightly and pat dry, or thaw frozen berries completely. Hull and slice strawberries if using.
  4. Layer the trifle by placing angel food cake cubes at the bottom of the serving dish, then spread a layer of the cream mixture, followed by a layer of mixed berries. Repeat layers, finishing with berries on top. Optionally, zest lemon over the top.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld and cake soak up juices.

Notes

Use a serrated knife to cube the angel food cake to avoid squishing it. Thaw frozen berries completely before layering to prevent watery layers. For vegan or dairy-free versions, substitute coconut whipped topping and dairy-free yogurt. The trifle tastes better after chilling overnight but can be served after 1 hour.
