Peaches and Cream Trifle

Layers of rich, colorful ingredients are the key to the appeal of easy-to-prepare dessert trifles like our Peaches and Cream Trifle. We wouldn't be surprised if summery fresh peaches were created just for including in this scrumptious dessert.

Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 1 (4-serving) package vanilla instant pudding mix
• 1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
• 1 (9-inch) round angel food cake
• 1/3 cup peach or apricot nectar
• 6 ripe peaches, pit removed and cut into chunks

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine milk and pudding mix. Beat 30 seconds with a wire whisk. Let stand 2 minutes, or until thickened. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping.
    
2. Cut cake into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Pour nectar over cake and gently toss until evenly coated.
    
3. Layer half each of cake cubes, peaches, and pudding mixture in a trifle dish or glass bowl; repeat layers. Top with remaining whipped topping. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

NOTES:

• To make this dessert more grownup, add peach liqueur instead of the nectar.
• We're thinking a Viennese Coffee would be a nice go-along with this fruit dessert.
