Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 14 oz pound cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cup fresh raspberries divide; reserve some for topping
  • 0.75 cup raspberry jam seedless preferred
  • 0.25 cup orange juice fresh or bottled
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar for berries
  • 6.8 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3.75 cup cold whole milk
  • 1.5 cup heavy whipping cream well chilled
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar for whipped cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.33 cup sliced almonds, toasted for garnish
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves roughly torn, for serving

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Chill a mixing bowl and beaters. Whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to soft peaks. Refrigerate.
  • Whisk jam with orange juice and lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
  • Toss 3 cups raspberries with granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of the jam mixture. Let stand briefly.
  • Whisk pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. Let it set a few minutes.
  • Layer half the cake cubes in a trifle bowl. Drizzle with half the jam mixture to moisten.
  • Spoon on half the sugared berries, then half the pudding. Add a third of the whipped cream.
  • Repeat layers with remaining cake, jam mixture, berries, and pudding. Finish with the rest of the whipped cream.
  • Top with reserved raspberries and toasted almonds. Cover and chill until cold.
  • Garnish with mint just before serving. Scoop into bowls.

Notes

Variation: Swap in strawberries or mixed berries, or add grated lemon zest to the whipped cream. For a boozy twist, replace half the orange juice with a splash of raspberry liqueur. Make-ahead tip: Assemble up to 12 hours in advance; add almonds and mint right before serving to keep them crisp and fresh.
