  1. 5 stars
    So, I made this yummy trifle after emailing Melissa to ask about where to find Dream Whip. Melissa, thanks for taking the time to answer me and I agree, it makes the difference for the filling. It’s light and fluffy and I like that it can be made in advance. This recipe turned me into a star even if it was just for the day! Thanks, Melissa keep them coming to my inbox!

  2. Berries and cream always good in my book and I love the way you decorated the top of the trifle.

  3. 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.

  4. This looks amazing! I see the ingredients list calls for 1 package of Dream Whip but the instructions refer to “both” packages…

  5. From Donna Bardocz…I love simple, but elegant looking desserts like this one!! Didi is right, this is a winner!

  6. This is truly a work of art Melissa, and I know it had to be the star of the day! Hope you enjoyed your July 4th celebration.
