Strawberry Shortcake Trifle







This trifle was sooo good. Perfect for an Easter or spring dessert. If you use a box mix or store bought angel food cake that is one pound or more, then add one point.


serves 16 ( 3 points+ )




1 angel food cake ( store bought less than one pound), cubed or torn
1 package sugar-free strawberry jello
2 c. boiling water
16 oz. package frozen strawberries
2 packages sugar-free vanilla instant pudding
3 c. skim milk
8 oz. Cool Whip Free
fresh strawberries


Dissolve jello in boiling water. Remove from heat and stir in frozen berries. Refrigerate 15-20 minutes or until partially gelled. Meanwhile, whisk together the pudding with the milk until thickened. Fold in Cool Whip. Place ⅓  of the cake pieces in the bottom of a trifle dish, top with ⅓ of the jello mixture, top that with ⅓ of the pudding mixture. Repeat two more times. Garnish the top with fresh, sliced strawberries.

  1. I'm assuming those are the small boxes of jell-o and pudding? This looks great!

    2. Can you use shortcake, or pound cake? or does that defeat the whole purpose of a DIET dessert?

  2. Can you make this the day before it is going to be served?

  13. In the recipe it says it is 16 servings. It is 5 SP per serving. Used the Connect WW app to calculate SP. Points value based on Great Value brand whipped topping.

  14. Since I can't eat strawberries anymore (the curse of an aged colon) I'm going to turn this into a Lemon-blueberry Trifle!! Using lemon Jello and fresh blueberries along with the vanilla pudding etc.
