RED, WHITE and BLUE

    by Joan Ricketts Locke

 

 

A quick and easy dessert, especially festive for a celebration!

 

Ingredients:

 

One large tub of Cool Whip

One large box of vanilla instant pudding

One Angel food cake (pound cake is good too)

One can of Cherry Pie Filling

One can of Blueberry Filling

Two cups milk

 

 

This dessert shows best in a trifle bowl or any large clear glass bowl.

 

Cut Angel food cake in to bite size pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, place pudding and milk and mix thoroughly.  Add two cups of Cool Whip and whip until creamy.

Open pie fillings.

 

Let's put this together now:

 

Layer:

1/2 cake in bottom of glass dish

Next spread blueberry pie filling

Spread pudding mixture evenly on top of pie filling

Layer remainder of cake

Spread Cherry pie filling on top of cake.

 

Finish with dollups of Cool whip around the edges of the cherry pie filling (see photo above)
 

 Note:  You can also use fresh blueberries, strawberries, cherries, etc. instead of pie fillings. If you are making this dessert for "just adults" try adding a "jigger" of your favorite liquor.  I used whiskey mixed in with the cherry pie filling and I used pound cake vs. angel food cake. 

 

Enjoy this festive and yummy treat for your celebration!
