So freakin' YUMMY, people were literally licking their plates when I made this for Easter, one person even requested this for his birthday instead of cake! No lumps in the cream if you mix the pudding with 1/3 cup milk first, then fold in the sour cream until smooth, then fold in the whip cream last. I made my own whip cream with heavy cream, vanilla extract and powder sugar, and used instant vanilla pudding mix. Use any fruit you like, frozen or fresh, the greatness is really in the cream layer. And it will be much easier to layer if you cube whatever cake you use (I used pound cake for richness). Thank you so much for sharing!!

Made this for big family Easter dinner and it was a HUGE hit! My mom. who is a great cook, said it was the best thing she had ever put in her mouth! I left out bananas, used the cheesecake flavored instant pudding per another reviewer, cut the angel food cake into large cubes, and added milk so the pudding would not be so stiff. Please note, this is such a simple recipe that you can not mess it up! If you want more fruit or any other ingredient, just add/increase to your personal taste. INCREDIBLE! Thanks, Joy!

This was a very good trifle -I did make a few minor changes, though, after reading previous reviews. I recommend using pineapple tidbits in place of the crushed pineapple -especially if you don't want to take the time to thoroughly drain the crushed variety. Also-personal preference -but I would leave out the bananas only because they get gooey and brown very quickly. I did combine the bananas and pineapple to keep the bananas from turning brown so quickly, but this recipe does make a lot -and there's just no way the bananas can hold up past the first day. I also used cheesecake pudding mix and doubled the "filling" -was very thick. Overall a good trifle.

Awesome Easter dessert. Unfortunately I own a smaller version Trifle bowl so i was only able to layer the angel food twice. Next time I would use half the sour cream, and add only one cup of milk to the pudding mixture, instead of two, it was much too runny. I used more than the recommended amounts of fruit, also for easier scooping, chunk the cake as other reviewers recommend.

This was fine but certainly not the best trifle I have made. Filling was pretty sparce. I suggest making a double batch. A little dry as well. No raves from my guests over this dessert.

This was an incredible dessert. I made it for a Sunday family dinner and I am still getting rave reviews about it. The only suggestion I have is to use some of the filling as "adhesive" for the strawberries and kiwis and also mix the bananas with the pineapple so they dont brown. Thank you!

This dessert is fabulous! Made it for a reunion and it was the first dessert eaten. Unfortunately I had none to take home! Next time I will make it with fat free sour cream and cool whip and sugar free pudding. I think it will still be wonderful. I will definately make this again and again.

i liked this a lot! couldn't find the cheesecake pudding everyone suggested, and had to use strawberry angel food cake (which was good anyway). also couldn't find the correct size pudding mix. used low-fat whipped topping and low-fat sour cream, and it still tasted amazing! use LOTS of fruit.

YUMMY! Like some other's suggested, we used the Cheesecake Pudding instead of vanilla. When preparing the pudding, I used 3/4 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of raspberry liqueur then added the sour cream and cool whip as instructed. WOW! Will be serving this at our annual holiday progressive dinner. After eating all day, you need a light dessert and this is perfect!

This was a huge hit. Made it for a Mystery Dinner Theatre we hosted at our home for 20 or so people and everyone loved it! It is beautiful and makes a great presentation. It's so simple too, there's really no way you can mess it up.

Wonderful dessert. I had great raves. After reading the other reviews I used the Cream cheese pudding mix added that to the sour cream and made fresh whip cream. I went easy on the sugar in the whip cream and added some vanilla. I added the bananas to the pineapple which was great and used pound cake. I had fresh blueberries and added that also. I would definately do this again and try a different pudding mix. A nice light dessert for summer.
