Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

1 purchased angel food cake, cut into bite-sized pieces, divided

32 ounces sweetened vanilla yogurt, divided

1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced, or more for a larger bowl, divided

3/4 cup strawberry preserves

1 to 2 tablespoons water,  or more as needed

2 cups blueberries, rinsed and dried

3/4 cup blueberry preserves

whole strawberries and blueberries for garnish (optional)

Directions

Place a layer of angel food cake pieces in the bottom of a small trifle dish or pretty cut glass bowl. Spread a thin layer of yogurt over cake layer.

Add a single layer of sliced strawberries. Place strawberry preserves and 1 tablespoon water in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on High until preserves liquefy, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir, and add up to 1 tablespoon more water if needed to make a syrup. Drizzle a portion of strawberry syrup over strawberry layer.

Add another single layer of cake pieces, and spread with yogurt. Sprinkle with blueberries.

Place blueberry preserves and 1 tablespoon water in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on High until preserves have melted, about 1 minute. Stir, and add up to 1 tablespoon more water if needed to make a syrup. Drizzle a portion of blueberry syrup over blueberries.

Add another layer of cake pieces; spread with yogurt, add a layer of strawberries, and drizzle with strawberry syrup. Add a layer of cake; spread with yogurt, sprinkle with blueberries, and drizzle with blueberry syrup. Spread with a final layer of yogurt.

Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, whole berries, and blueberries, and drizzle with any remaining syrup.

Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Store leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator.

Cook’s Note

If you are using a straight-sided trifle bowl, the amount of each ingredient per layer will be evenly divided. If you are using a bowl with slanted sides, the lower layers will take less of each ingredient than the upper layers, so fill your bowl accordingly. 

To make a fruit syrup for the fresh fruit, you will melt a little fruit preserves or jelly in the microwave and combine with a little water.
