Red, White and Blue Trifle

Tomorrow, we celebrate the red white and blue with a beautiful trifle with strawberries, blueberries and homemade whipped cream. This all-American dessert can be made ahead and refrigerated, so it is perfect for a holiday cookout, and it’s much easier to make than it looks. Don’t worry, we won’t tell your friends you didn’t spend all day in the kitchen.

Test Kitchen Tip: The trifle can be made kid-friendly by replacing the almond liqueur with pineapple or orange juice. Or, make them their own special treat, a Strawberry Parfait.
