It’s time to get ready for 4th of July, which means Red White & Blue desserts!
This 4th of July I’m sharing a super simple and fun party Patriotic dessert-Red white and blue Triflets.
What makes this dessert perfect for parties (aside from being completely delicious, of course) is that you make it in little shot glasses so that they can be enjoyed in little individual bites!
And since a traditional trifle is served in one big bowl, I thought I’d call these little individual desserts Triflets!
Annnnd…. did I mention how easy they are to make? You line up your little glasses, put a dollop of either cool whip or whipped cream in the bottom, but a few pieces of sponge cake, then put another dollop of cool whip on top and finish top off with blueberries and strawberries!
Happy 4th of July! How will you be celebrating?
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups Cool Whip or Whipped Cream
- 1 Sponge Cake 8 inch, either store bought or home made cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup Blueberries
- 1/2 cup strawberries sliced
Instructions
- Line up 12 shot glasses or mini bowls.
- Drop a dollop (a spoonful) of the cool whip or whipped cream in the bottom of the shot glasses, then put a few chunks of the sponge cake on top of the cool whip, then fill the glasses with more cool whip and top with blueberries and a sliced strawberry.

Definitely a change from the traditional British trifles we have here.We do tend to do mini trifles for lunch boxes and picnics.I can’t see in the recipe what the blue and red is in the middle of the trifles.What is it?
Sweetphi says
These mini trifles would be perfect for lunch boxes and picnics!! The recipe actually doesn’t call for anything in the middle of the trifles, it’s just the sponge cake in the middle and then the berries are on top of the cream, you could most certainly put a few blueberries and strawberry pieces in the middle! Thanks for commenting 🙂

This reminded me of Friends too… in a good way though! I’ll be careful to read closely unlike Rachel when I try this out 🙂 Happy 4th (in advance)!

I thought trifles had meat in them? Have you seen that episode of Friends? 🙂 The DaVinci wine thing is so cool. I’ve voted every day since I saw your facebook post!
Sweetphi says
Haha, I did see that episode of Friends..didn’t they have two miss- matching recipe pages or something and that’s how meat was involved? Because in all the trifles I’ve heard of and seen there’s no meat…it’s typically a layered dessert with sponge cake, fruit, cream and sometimes a custard. And THANK YOU for the voting, it’s very much appreciated!!!
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says

Sweetphi says
