This oh-so-pretty Berry Trifle With White Chocolate Cream is a simple and decadent sweet treat ideal for anytime of year. It features layers of vanilla cake, fresh blueberries and strawberries all smothered with a white chocolate cream to pull it all together. The red, white & blue color palette makes it perfect for Memorial Day or July 4th celebrations but, it’s guaranteed to satisfy your craving for berries and cream at any celebration.
When fresh berries are in abundance I start dreaming of trifles. Trifles are a personal favorite and always impress guests when displayed as an edible centerpiece. I have many trifle recipes here on my website that remain all-time reader favorites. My Outrageous Lemon Lovers Trifle, Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake Trifle and Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle are fantastic warm weather desserts. At the holidays, Red Velvet Trifle White Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle or Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle will always delight family and friends. This fresh berry version with white chocolate cream is a festive sweet ending to any meal and guaranteed there won’t be a spoonful leftover.

From Donna Bardocz…I love simple, but elegant looking desserts like this one!! Didi is right, this is a winner!
Jessica says
This looks amazing! I see the ingredients list calls for 1 package of Dream Whip but the instructions refer to “both” packages…
Melissa says
1 box of Dream Whip contains two envelopes/packages of dry whipped topping. Use both. I can see how that might be confusing. Use the entire box.
