Ingredients

2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

1 cup vanilla sponge cake, cubed

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup vanilla yogurt

Mint leaves for garnish

Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for extra freshness)

Instructions

Prepare the Berries: Rinse the mixed berries under cold water. If using strawberries, slice them into halves or quarters depending on their size. If you’d like, drizzle with lemon juice for added zest. Set aside.

Make Whipped Cream: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).

Layer the Ingredients: In small cups or dessert glasses, start with a layer of vanilla cake cubes. Follow this by adding a layer of yogurt (about 2 tablespoons), then add a layer of mixed berries (about 2 tablespoons), and finally a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.

Repeat Layers: Continue layering until the cups are filled, typically 2-3 layers depending on the size of your cups. Finish with a thick layer of whipped cream on top.

Garnish and Chill: Top with a few whole berries and a mint leaf for garnish. Once assembled, refrigerate the trifle cups for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the cream to set.

Serve: Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of whipped cream, fresh berries, and soft cake!
