    Summer Fruit Trifles with Peaches, Cherries, and Blueberries - Andrea Meyers

    Summer is always a busy time of year for us. The kids are out of school but involved in activities, so Chauffeur Mom is still on duty. The garden requires daily work harvesting, watering, and weeding, and then there’s all those tomatoes, about 50 pounds so far, that need to be eaten and preserved. Put all that on top of the other daily duties and I’m ready to cry “Uncle.” I need to keep complications to a minimum, and that includes no fussy meals or desserts.

    Trifles are one of those desserts that can be as easy or complicated as you want, and they are such a pretty dessert for guests. For these summer fruit trifles, I keep the calories down by only using whipped cream on top and not between the layers, and not using any syrups, just the fruit juices to soak into the cake. In my view, the gorgeous fresh fruits of summer don’t need anything else to make them delectable.

    Recipe Notes

    Aside from the whipping cream, I didn’t provide any measurement for the fruit and angel food cake because the whole idea is to keep this uncomplicated. The whipping cream will serve up to 6, so increase or decrease amounts as needed. If you estimate one peach and a half cup each cherries and blueberries, that should cover one serving. Leftover angel food cake can be used for shortcake, and you can substitute just about any summer fruit. For young children, make the trifle half size with just one layer of each fruit.

    I now make this gluten free with a fantastic Gluten-Free Angel Food Cake recipe from King Arthur Flour (not sponsored, I just love that cake).

    Make it Dairy-Free or Vegan

    Substitute vegan or dairy-free premade whipped cream or topping.
