How to Make a Fruit Trifle
Trifles are one of the easiest desserts out there! No baking required and easy assembly! For this recipe, you can use either lady fingers (Italian cookies), sponge cake or even Angel Food Cake. The filling is a light and creamy cream cheese and whipped cream frosting. First, prepare all the fruit and berries. I recommend using fruit that doesn’t release too many juices. Here are some great options but feel free to add your favorite berries or fruits: strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, cherry, kiwi, apple, banana, papaya, dragonfruit.
Assembling the Dessert!
To assemble this easy dessert, first lightly soak the lady fingers or sponge cake in rose or dessert wine. You can use a pastry brush or simply dip the cookies into the wine briefly. Next, layer away!! Layer the lady fingers, fruit and cream into a large trifle bowl or decorative glass bowl, alternating the layers as you go. This simple trifle bowl will do perfectly, or check out this beautiful crystal bowl available online(affiliate link). Garnish the top with sliced fruit and berries and whipped cream. Enjoy the trifle right away or keep it refrigerated for up to 2 days.

I made this for a bridal shower! Was just the right combination of sweetness and fruit! Everyone loved it!!
This was great!
I know it’s October, but I just made this yesterday. I invited some friends over for dinner and most of the food I was preparing was pretty heavy, and I wanted a light dessert that would pair well with tea. I was also on a time crunch and needed something quick to make.
Overall everyone loved it! The whipped cream, cream cheese, and lemon really made it taste kinda like a no bake cheesecake and it was delicious! Will definitely make again!
Does it have to be rose wine? I have some pink Moscato and just wondering if that would also work?
Yes! Moscato would also work great! Enjoy 🙂
