   • Begin by cutting your favorite cake into 1-inch cubes. Ensure they are uniform for an even layering in the trifle bowl.

2. Prepare Pudding:

   • In a mixing bowl, prepare the instant vanilla pudding according to the instructions on the package. Usually, this involves whisking the pudding mix with milk until smooth and thickened.

3. Fold in Cool Whip:

   • Gently fold half of the Cool Whip into the prepared pudding mixture until fully incorporated. This will add lightness and creaminess to the pudding layer.

4. Layer the Trifle:

   • In a 2-quart serving bowl, begin layering the trifle. Start with one-third of the cake cubes at the bottom of the bowl.

5. Add Raspberry Preserves:

   • Dot the cake layer with half of the raspberry preserves, distributing them evenly across the surface.

6. Layer Raspberries and Pudding:

   • Next, layer half of the fresh raspberries and half of the pudding mixture over the cake and preserves. Ensure an even distribution for each layer.

7. Repeat Layers:

   • Continue layering by repeating the steps above: another one-third of the cake cubes, the remaining raspberry preserves, fresh raspberries, and pudding mixture.

8. Top with Cake and Cool Whip:

   • Finish the trifle with the remaining cake cubes on top. Then, generously spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top layer, creating a smooth and creamy finish.

9. Chill:

   • Cover the trifle bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and for the trifle to set properly.

10. Garnish and Serve:

    • Just before serving, sprinkle sliced almonds over the top of the trifle for added crunch and visual appeal. Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful flavors of this raspberry trifle!

Tips:

• For a variation, you can omit the raspberry preserves and raspberries and instead add 1 tsp. of rum flavoring into the pudding mixture. Additionally, you can substitute raspberries with 2 cups of fresh or 12 oz. of thawed frozen blueberries for a different twist on this classic dessert.
• Experiment with different types of cake for the base, such as sponge cake, pound cake, or even chocolate cake, to add depth of flavor to your trifle.
• If you’re short on time, you can prepare the trifle a day in advance and refrigerate overnight. This allows the flavors to develop even further and makes it a convenient option for entertaining.
• Feel free to get creative with the presentation by using individual serving glasses or cups for a more elegant presentation at dinner parties or gatherings.
• Don’t limit yourself to just raspberries! You can customize this trifle with your favorite fruits such as strawberries, blackberries, or a combination of tropical fruits for a vibrant and refreshing dessert option.
