ANGEL FOOD TRIFLE



Angel Food Trifle image

A low-fat, low-sugar trifle that the whole family will love! I find that the pudding is usually set by the time I am done adding the other layers so it can be eaten right away. If not, chill in the fridge until the pudding is set. Keep refrigerated (especially if it is warm.)
