Peaches and Cream Trifle

SERVES: 8

CHILL TIME: 1 Hr

Layers of rich, colorful ingredients are the key to the appeal of easy-to-prepare dessert trifles like our Peaches and Cream Trifle. We wouldn't be surprised if summery fresh peaches were created just for including in this scrumptious dessert.

What You'll Need

2 cups milk
1 (4-serving) package vanilla instant pudding mix
1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
1 (9-inch) round angel food cake
1/3 cup peach or apricot nectar
6 ripe peaches, pit removed and cut into chunks

What to Do

In a medium bowl, combine milk and pudding mix. Beat 30 seconds with a wire whisk. Let stand 2 minutes, or until thickened. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping.
Cut cake into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Pour nectar over cake and gently toss until evenly coated.
Layer half each of cake cubes, peaches, and pudding mixture in a trifle dish or glass bowl; repeat layers. Top with remaining whipped topping. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

NOTES:

To make this dessert more grownup, add peach liqueur instead of the nectar.
We're thinking a Viennese Coffee would be a nice go-along with this fruit dessert.
