- 1.5 cups heavy cream, cold
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz pre-made pound cake or ladyfingers
- 2 cups mixed berries (fresh)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, for berries)
How to make Quick Berry Trifle Cups
- In a large, chilled bowl with chilled beaters (or stand mixer bowl), pour 1.5 cups cold heavy cream. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue beating until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat, about 1-2 more minutes. Set aside.
- Wash and thoroughly dry 2 cups mixed fresh berries. If the berries are tart, you can gently toss them with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar in a small bowl to macerate slightly, then set aside for 5 minutes.
- Cut the 8 oz pre-made pound cake into approximately 1-inch cubes. If using ladyfingers, you can break them into smaller pieces.
- Grab four individual serving glasses or small bowls. Begin layering your trifles: place a small layer of pound cake cubes at the bottom of each glass.
- Spoon a generous layer of whipped cream over the pound cake. Spread it gently to cover the cake.
- Next, add a layer of mixed berries over the whipped cream. Ensure an even distribution of berries in each glass.
- Repeat the layering process: add another layer of pound cake, followed by more whipped cream, and finish with a final layer of fresh berries on top.
- For best results, cover the trifle cups with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cake to absorb some moisture from the cream and berries.
