No-Bake Sangria Fruit Trifle Recipe (video)
Quick and easy no-bake fruit trifle recipe with sangria, lady fingers, loads of fresh fruit and whipped cream!
Ingredients
- 30 ladyfinger cookies, hard, crispy type
- 6 to 8 cups fresh fruit and berries
For Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temp
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 1 tsp strawberry extract or emulsion, optional
- 1/3 cup strawberry preserves
- 2 cups sangria or grape juice
Instructions
- Wash and prep the fruit and cut any large fruit into bite size pieces.
- For the filling, place the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk into a mixer bowl and whisk for a few minutes until the mixture is smooth and clump free.
- Add the chilled heavy cream and whisk again, first on low speed, then on high speed for about 30 seconds until medium peaks form.
- Add the strawberry extract (optional), strawberry preserves and a bit of food coloring, if desired. Whisk again for 10 to 15 seconds, just until combined. Do not over mix the filling - it will separate if overmixed!!
- To assemble the fruit trifle: Pour the sangria into large bowl or shallow dish, for easier dipping. Soak a few ladyfinger cookies at a time briefly in the sangria, then arrange cookies in a single layer on the bottom of a large trifle bowl.
- Top the cookies with a generous amount of creamy filling, then add a few handfuls of fruit on top. Repeat the process - layering the cookies, cream, and fruit - until the trifle bowl is full, finishing with a heap of fruit on top.
- For best results, refrigerate the fruit trifle overnight. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
