Instructions

Step 1

Start by placing the cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle bowl. In a large measuring cup, mix the raspberry gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water until it’s completely dissolved, then stir in 1 cup of cold water. Pour this over the cake cubes and gently press everything down. Scatter the raspberries evenly on top, then pop the trifle in the fridge to chill until the gelatin is set, about 45 minutes.

Step 2

Next, whisk together one package of pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk for a couple of minutes until it thickens. Spread this creamy pudding layer over the raspberries and return the trifle to the fridge for another 45 minutes to let the pudding firm up.

Once that’s ready, dissolve the cherry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, stirring well, then add 1 cup cold water. Pour this over the pudding layer and spread the cherries on top. Chill again until the gelatin firms up, about 45 minutes.

For the final gelatin layer, mix the strawberry gelatin with 1 cup boiling water until dissolved, then stir in 1 cup cold water. Pour this over the pudding and arrange the strawberries on top. Let the whole trifle chill for about an hour until everything is completely set.
