Fruit Trifle Dessert

- Yellow cake, baked and cooled
- 1 large vanilla pudding
- 8 oz. Cool Whip
- Fresh strawberries, blueberries, and bananas

Cut up yellow cake into small squares and place in the bottom of trifle bowl. Mix pudding (follow box directions) and pour half of pudding mixture over the cake. Spread cool whip on top. Slice strawberries, blueberries, and bananas and place on top of cool whip. Repeat another layer of cake, pudding mixture, cool whip, and fruit to decorate the top.

Wendi's Tip: Make sure the cake is all the way cooled. I have even made the cake the day before so I can guarantee that is isn't warm. It will fall apart if it's still warm and then the dessert turns into mush. Also, this is a pretty healthy and light dessert - using fat free milk and fat free or lite cool whip really helps... and you can't even taste the difference! And it is cute to use for the 4th of July..because of the colors of the fruit! Enjoy!

My mom makes this and I love it! The only difference is she uses angel food cake or pound cake. I love it with angel food cake. She also sometimes uses sugar free pudding and cool whip to make it better for my dad, who is diabetic. A great recipe!
