Easy Berry Trifle Recipe

This easy Berry Trifle Recipe makes the most of in season berries and is the perfect summer dessert!

This Easy Berry Trifle recipe is based on one of the most popular no bake dessert recipes on my site – my simple Trifle Recipe and it really is no wonder so many people love it!  This Trifle recipe is perfect if you are feeding a crowd (you can get 10 serves from it) and it REALLY is incredibly easy to make – I promise!

When making this easy Berry Trifle recipe you can really be as creative as you like when it comes to adding the layers, I like to thinly slice the strawberries lengthways to decorate the sides of the serving bowl, however if you are pressed for time, you can easily skip this step.  You can also use either homemade or store bought custard for this recipe, you will just need around one litre in total.  If you are making this Berry Trifle for a special even (eg Christmas!) you can also put it together the day before, just cover it with some cling wrap to help stop the whipped cream from ‘drying’ out.
