Hello everyone! For the past week we’ve been enjoying summer weather in the Midwest-temperatures soaring into the high eighties and low nineties, interspersed with pop-up showers that go as quickly as they come about!

To combat the heat, I created this really simple dessert recipe, which my daughter liked so much she demanded I write it down, so now I’m sharing it with you. Enjoy!

Mixed Berry Trifle

Ingredients:

16 oz. frozen pound cake, thawed

3 cups berries, (I use a mixture of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and strawberries)

8 oz. container frozen non-dairy topping, thawed

Directions:

• Slice thawed pound cake into cubes, layer one third into glass trifle bowl or other large bowl.
• Spread one third berries over cake. 
• Beat pudding mix with milk according to package directions, spoon one third over cake and berries.
•  Repeat layers with rest of cake, fruit, and pudding.
