this was very delicious!! i added sweet cherries and doubled the pudding mixture because i wanted it to be extra moist. it was finished in no time and everyone loved it.

I used this recipe as a base, but I guess I ought to submit my own, since it hardly resembled the original. Instead of pound cake, I used vanilla cake mix (didn't take all of both layers). I also used 2 boxes of cheesecake pudding, mixed with 1 3/4 C milk and folded in fresh whipped cream (with a bit of sugar and vanilla). Like others, I also used fresh berries and layered it instead of dumping it all on top. You really can't mess up this type of trifle. Yum!

Good but not the most attractive! I used a little chocolate liquor instead of the recommended kind. I would use more berries next time.

Made this for a bbq last week and it was a big hit!! I didn't use the prailine liquor and it still came out just fine! I will make this one again! The custard filling is so good!

I made this for my office pot luck and it was a huge hit! I couldn't find praline liqueur, so I used hazelnut syrup instead and it was delicious!

I used a triple berry preserves and spread it on the pound cake before cubing it. I used fresh blackberries in the first layer, frozen raspberries in the second layer, fresh blueberries in the third layer, and decorated the top of the dessert with sliced strawberries and fresh blueberries. I used cheesecake flavored instant pudding. This was served at a Father's Day cookout and was incredible.

We were invited at the last minute to a Memorial Day get-together at a friends' house, and I'd just gotten a new trifle bowl, so of course, I had to make red, white and blue trifle :). I ran to Wally World at about 10:30 the night before and the only pound cake I could find were these eight-to-a-box mini poundcakes. I was hoping to find a lemon poundcake, or at least a Sara Lee frozen poundcake, but I think everyone had the same idea I did. I decided to do four berry layers, so I bought frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries, and frozen blackberries and fresh strawberries. I sprinkled them all with a little sugar and let them sit overnight. I decided to use cheesecake pudding (it just seemed like it'd work). Since we don't do liqueur, I decided to spread the poundcake with preserves. While I was trying to decide which one I wanted to use, I spotted a triple berry ice cream topping by Smuckers (strawberry, raspberry,blackberry) and decided on that. It's thinner than jam or jelly, so I think it'll soak into the poundcake nicely, but not turn it to mush. When I put this together tomorrow, I'm going to do traditional layers. Poundcake, blackberries,pudding, poundcake, raspberries, pudding, poundcake, blueberries, pudding, poundcake, strawberries, pudding. I've made a basic version of this before, and it's always a huge hit. I think this is a great recipe you can have a lot of fun with modifying and adding your own personal touches to. *It went over REALLY well. I made a huge bow

This is a great easy recipe for a tasty dessert! My only modification was that I didn't add cool whip on top b/c my trifle bowl was already full with the other ingredients.

This was awesome! SO good! A keeper! Used fresh berries though.

Made it for a birthday party and everyone loved it!

First off, this is the ONLY dessert I have ever made where my husband asked for seconds...and he doesn't even like dessert! This was one of the best and most delicious recipes I have ever gotten from Allrecipes.com! I did, however, make the following changes: 1) In place of the cool whip, I used a pint sized container of heavy cream, whipped, and flavored w/ vanilla extract. I added approx 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream to the custard mixture, and "frosted" the top of the trifle with the rest. 2) Instead of the blackberries, I used a 16 oz carton of frozen sliced sweetened strawberries in syrup. I thawed it in the microwave and spooned the syrup on the cake layers to moisten instead of the praline liqueur. 3) I made multiple layers of cake, berries and custard, instead of just one layer of cake on the bottom. 4) I used a 13 oz Entemann's All Butter Loaf Cake and it worked perfectly. This was SO delicious I can't even believe it! I definitely plan on making it for family and friends in the summer, when fresh berries are in season. Thanks for an AMAZING recipe!

So yummy everyone loved it.... gets really soggy fast though!

This recipe is great! I did however make some modifications. I used Angel food cake instead of the pound cake. Used some orange juice and some strawberry syrup to moisten the cake instead of the praline liqueur. I also added extra cool whip than called for in order to create more layers. Then I decorated the top with fresh fruit. I took it to my work for my boss's birthday party potluck and it got rave reviews.

Wonderful! It received rave reviews at a recent dinner party. I made with most the variants suggested by others (added extra milk to the pudding, layered the berries and topping, spread the pound cake with rasberry jam) and skipped the liquor and used homemade whipped cream.

Very good, very easy. Looks pretty. A big hit at my daughter's daycare picnic over the summer-none left!

OK, I have made this recipe about 4 or 5 times now and people LOVE it!! So creamy and sweet, yet not too sweet. And when they are in season the berries are divine. Just love this recipe, it is a crowd pleaser!

This recipe is always a huge hit. One word of advice...after you put the 1st layer of cake and berries down, pour half the "pudding" mixture over top, then finish with another layer and pour the rest of the pudding mixture. The mixture is too thick to reach the bottom layer if you only pour over the top.

I made this last night. I used angel food cake, drizzled cherry brandy over it, 2- 16 oz bags frozen mixed berries & made the pudding mixture with 2 C milk & no condensed milk. I think it would be better with white chocolate pudding mix & maybe some cream cheese as some people have suggested. I also think it would be better layered. My husband kept asking why I wasn't layering it, he thought the way the recipe says to do it is weird. I think it could be a 5-star recipe with improvements. "Raspberry Trifle" from this site is still my favorite.

very good

I made this for a family occasion. This was an easy, delicious, and attractive dessert. I also layered the cake and bluberries and raspberries and blackberries. There were many kids at my party so I omitted any alcohol and it was still delicious. I put a berry on top to top it off. I enjoyed it and so did my guests. I will make this again.
