Description

This Red, White & Blue Berry Trifle is the ultimate showstopper in your collection of Memorial Day recipes. Featuring layers of pound cake, whipped cream, and fresh summer berries, this easy no-bake dessert is perfect for patriotic gatherings, cookouts, and potlucks. Bright, flavorful, and ready in minutes, it’s one of the best Memorial Day recipes for a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pound cake cubed (use gluten-free pound cake for dietary needs)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed and dried
  • 1 cup raspberries washed and patted dry
  • 2 cups whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Cut the pound cake into evenly sized cubes and set aside
  2. In a large clear trifle dish or bowl, layer a third of the pound cake cubes across the bottom
  3. Top the cake layer with a generous scoop of whipped cream, spreading evenly
  4. Add a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to form the red, white & blue pattern
  5. Repeat the layers two more times or until the bowl is filled, finishing with a fruit layer on top
  6. Cover and refrigerate the trifle for at least one hour to chill before serving
  7. This festive treat is one of the most refreshing Memorial Day recipes and a great make-ahead dessert
    For a dairy-free version, use coconut whipped cream as a substitution to keep it light and vegan-friendly

Notes

  1. To reduce sugar, use angel food cake and skip sweeteners
  2. Layer in individual jars or cups for easy serving at outdoor events
  3. For added flavor, drizzle each cake layer with fruit juice or a berry liqueur
  4. Use frozen berries if fresh ones aren’t available—just thaw and drain before layering
  5. This dessert works well for other patriotic holidays like the 4th of July or Labor Day recipes too
