Happy Independence Day everybody!!! Are you having a fourth of July get together or going to one or just want to celebrate with your family or not doing anything at all but want something to help make you feel patriotic? Then this is the perfect dessert for you! An Independence Day Trifle.
This can be made rather quickly the night before or the day of or the day after, if you forgot it was in the middle of the week this year. Grab your favorite brand of vanilla pudding and make some! I'd say about two packages worth. Let the pudding set over night and become nice and firm. Once the pudding has set, prepare your beautiful trifle dish, that you may have used once in your life, by putting a layer of pound cake fingers on the bottom. Top those with a layer of pudding and then a layer of sliced strawberries. On top of the strawberries you are going to put a small layer of pudding and then more fingers and then more pudding and strawberries. Repeat this process until you are about an inch from the top.
For the topping you will want to put a layer of whipped cream. Cool Whip would work, but making your own is so much better and very June Cleaver of you! To make your own combine 2 cups of heavy whipping cream with half a cup of white sugar. Beat the mixture until the cream forms stiff peaks. However, don't beat it too much or the cream will start to separate and you will have a watery mess that is not pleasant.
Top the last layer with the whipped cream. This should fill the trifle dish or even go slightly higher than the edge of the dish. On top of the whipped cream take blueberries and place them along the top. You can do fun designs here like putting circles or stars or chevron stripes across the top. Once the trifle is done, place it in the fridge for a few hours to fully chill and stiffen up.
Serve after delicious hot dogs and hamburgers have been consumed with your favorite beer. Happy 'Murica Day!!!
