This was last nights dessert and it turned out great. I did modifiy it a bit, but went along the same lines as the original. I used dessert bowls to make them individuals. I used SF cheesecake flavored pudding, 1% milk and Lite whipped topping. My husband and son kept saying how great it was. It was a very nice change to our usual cake or ice cream desserts.

I wanted to use fresh strawberries, but they had none at the grocery store-so I had to use frozen. I thawed them out & strained any leftover juices from them. I used 2 bananas on the bottom layer & 3 on top. When making it, I didn't think taht 1 pkg of pudding would be enough (I screwed up & only used 2 cups of milk, instead of the recommended 3), but when I tasted it, it was delicious!!! Very easy to prepare (Eventhough Mom didn't have a trifle dish, like I was sure that she did LOL). I just used a large glass mixing bowl & it was fine. To garnish, I used a slice of banana in the centre & 5 halves of strawberries to make petals, to make it look like a flower. Very simple, but effective. Thanks for a lovely recipe!

I used fresh strawberries (which I recommend if at all possible), but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and loved the results! Perfect for my ladies' night potluck.

I made this for my step father on fathers day (sunday) came back the next evening.. and my Trifle bowl was empty and cleaned out, ready for me to take back home! He and my mom loved it! I used pound cake instead of angel food cake which is why, i think it didnt get soggy! Also i was impressed in how pretty it was...It is a keeper... very easy! I have a cook out to go to this weekend and i am def. bringing this... its perfect for a hot day!

My goodness! This was one of the best desserts I have ever had, let alone made myself. I have been eyeing this recipe for a while now but read from another reviewer that it doesn't keep well overnight so I have been waiting for a time when I was cooking for a large group. And let me tell you... This is SO refreshing and simple, yet luxurious. I did exactly what the recipe said to do, and I was blown away by the results. I even got a little carried away with the pretty designs of strawberries and bananas, but man it looked as wonderful as it tasted. I will definitely make this again for every other group function I host now! :)

I brought this to a neighborhood BBQ and got raves! I added a layer of strawberry revel ice cream and kept the whole thing in the freezer for about 3 hours, then let it sit out about half an hour before serving. I also shaved some dark chocolate on top as a garnish. Delicious!

Love this! One of my favorite light desserts to make. I always use fresh strawberries and sometimes add blueberries too. I enjoy it with vanilla pudding and cool whip or real whip cream mixed together. Always gets eaten quickly but will hold up in fridge for 2-3 days.

Excellent!! I took it to a Bar B Q, there was nothing left but the empty bowl. I, too, used cream cheese pudding and added Cool Whip to the pudding (for time sake). It made it nice, light and airy. This is a nice recipe to make when fresh strawberries and blueberries are in season. Yum!!

Good recipe. I didn't use the bananas and doubled the strawberries. Everyone always ask me to make this for them.

I made some changes since I didn't want to end up with 18 servings. I used the same amount of strawberries and pudding, but I used an 8 oz angel food cake instead of a 12 oz. I probably only need 3/4 of the 8 oz cake, but it was still good. I also only used about 1.5 cups of cool whip, and 2 bananas and added some blackberries. It turned out great!

This was absolutely awesome!!! I'm sure it is great following the recipe but I made these changes: Left out the bananas and used 2 lbs (or more) of fresh strawberries (I don't think you can have too many), sliced them & added 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar to make them syrupy and used extra creamy non-dairy whipped topping. The perfect summer-time dessert. And it's pretty, too : )

I made this but I made it with Sugar Free Pudding, and Coolwhip Free. No one realized they were eating a low-cal low-fat dish.

I made this for a get-together with another family. It was easy to make and tasted delicious. I used fresh berries because I had some in the fridge already. I would try this with blueberries and/or raspberries too.

I make this several times a year My version is with non-fat sugar free pudding, fat free Cool Whip and non-fat milk. I ALWAYS soak the strawberries in a bit of cream sherry or other liqueur(real English trifle!) Can even be made in individual parfait glasses!

We thought this was good, but some weren't crazy about the bananas in it. It's a very light tasting dessert. I might try making it some time with the sugar-free pudding and whipped topping. I would make this again and recommend it.

Easy, delicious, and could be varied in any number of ways. Trifles are so much easier than a traditional cake in my opinion, and many times they end up looking even better than something much more time consuming.
