CHERRIES IN THE SNOW
This is one of those recipes you can make when there is little time and you have unexpected guests for the weekend. This also makes a great dessert for holiday buffet; and this can be made by using any canned pie -filling- I have made it with pineapple pie filling and blueberry; both turned out great.

PATRIOTIC BERRY TRIFLE
You can change this recipe up lots of ways - use fresh made whipped cream, any mix of berries you like, and swap out the vanilla pudding for cheesecake flavor if you'd like. You can use pound cake in place of angel food cake if you prefer - but I like the light texture of the angel food cake for this one!

Steps:
- Prepare the instant pudding first according to package direction by whipping the pudding with the cold milk until soft set. Refrigerate until firmed up, about 1 hour.
- Sprinkle half of the diced angel food cake onto the bottom of a trifle bowl. Set aside a few of the blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries to decorate the top of the cake. Add half of the remaining berries evenly over the cake pieces, then spoon the set pudding on top of the berries.
- Add the last layer of cake and any remaining berries (except those reserved for decoration). Top berries with frozen whipped topping, spreading gently to create a smooth and even surface. Use the reserved berries to decorate the top of your trifle however you'd like!
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve (don't make too far in advance, as the cake will start to break down the longer it sits).

Tips:
- Use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If fresh cherries are unavailable, frozen cherries can be used. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
- If you don't have cherry pie filling, you can make your own by combining 4 cups of fresh or frozen cherries, 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.
- You can use any type of whipped cream you like. Homemade whipped cream is always best, but store-bought whipped cream will work just fine.
- If you don't have any blueberries, you can use raspberries or strawberries instead.
- To make the trifle more festive, you can add some red, white, and blue sprinkles on top.
Conclusion:
This Cherries in the Snow Trifle is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
