Easy and Delicious Red White and Blue Patriotic Trifle Recipe

This Patriotic Trifle Recipe features delicious red, white and blue layers for a festive dessert perfect for the 4th of July or Memorial Day!

Before we know it, July 4th with be here! I am getting really excited for the 4th, I love to watch Fireworks. Our town puts on a pretty good show. We live in a smaller town so it isn’t anything like you would see in a big city, but it is pretty darn good to me!

I thought it would be fun to share a 4th of July Inspired recipe to get ready for the holiday. This Red White Blue Patriotic Trifle is so cute and really tasty.

The recipe below is for homemade cake but if you don’t feel like making it from scratch, you can buy a boxed white cake and mix it accordingly, and then just separate the colors  once batter is well mixed.

This is a really easy dessert that doesn’t take much time, and is super cute. I hope you enjoy!

Patriotic Mini Trifle Ingredients ­

Directions ­

I suggest serving immediately. I do not recommend saving (the whipped cream melts quickly). If you have any cake leftover you can save that in an airtight container up to 1 week.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, and if you make it, I would love to hear what you think!
