Need an easy but impressive dessert? Try White Chocolate Berry Trifle!
It is summer! That makes it the perfect time for this White Chocolate Berry Trifle.
I have been making this recipe for years. It makes a great dessert for summer.
You can make it with a mix of berries, but you can also make it with just strawberries, just blueberries, or just raspberries.
You can use whatever berries you have on hand or that are in season.
White Chocolate Berry Trifle also serves a crowd, so it is a great dessert for family picnics and barbecues.
I recently made this for a barbecue we hosted, and everyone loved it. It made a great dessert to serve.
This trifle is red, white, and blue, making it perfect for the 4th of July.
What is a Trifle?
A trifle is a layered dessert that usually includes fruit, cake, and a custard or pudding layer.
Can I make trifle gluten free?
This dessert is easy to make gluten-free using any gluten-free pound cake or my gluten-free cold-oven pound cake.
When I made it recently, I used my gluten-free cold oven pound cake recipe, and no one could tell that it was gluten-free. Even the non gluten free eaters enjoyed it.
Ingredients
- pound cake, my cold oven poundcake, or my gluten free cold oven poundcake for a gluten free version
- homemade white chocolate pudding, you can use a box of white chocolate instant pudding for this but homemade really is better
- Cool Whip or whipped topping
- 6 cups of fresh berries, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries

Last night we had to bring a last minute dessert to a party. We stopped at Costco, and they had an amazing looking Strawberry Trifle there. We didn’t buy it, but I thought,’ hey, I could make that myself later this week’. Now I see your trifle and had never thought of putting white chocolate pudding in it. I think it looks so much better than the Costco one. I’m going to make your recipe this week. Thanks!
I hope you enjoy it! Trifles are so easy to make and look so nice. I love making them.
Yum! I’ll be doing this with coconut pudding to make it dairy free. Thanks for the inspiration once again!
I think that would work great. Any type of pudding works well for trifles.
I want to dig right in!
I made this tonight when we had another family over for dinner. It was a HIT! Super easy and ready ahead of time so we could eat it when we were ready. I made the pound cake from scratch and used homemade whipped cream instead of cool whip. The white chocolate pudding was so decadent! Thanks, Lynn, for this amazing recipe!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it!
Do you let it set in the fridge, I assume?
