Lemon Berry Trifle


Sandi, at Rose Chintz Cottage is holding a special Bird Lover's Tea and I'm sharing my son's work- in- progress painting of bird's.  Won't you stay and enjoy some Lemon Berry Trifle and some blueberry tea?  I've made an individual trifle in a pretty canning jar. 

Here's a better picture of his painting.  He is making all the birds about the same size and not according to nature.  He still has three birds left to paint.  You can see the one in the middle  just has the shape. 
 

Lemon Berry Trifle

I box instant lemon pudding
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 angel food cake, cubed
Fresh assorted berries

Mix the pudding with the milk according to package directions. Fold in the thawed whipped topping. Set aside.

Layer half of the cubed angel food cake in the bottom of a trifle dish, or individual dishes. Top with half the pudding mixture. Add a layer of berries.  Repeat. Refrigerate until serving time. 

Here's when he first started the painting.


Here's another phase.   When it's finished, I'll share the completed painting.

I am sharing this with:

  5. Fun to see what your son is painting and interesting that he is painting all the species in a similar size. The trifle sounds yummy! Wonder if it would work with any pudding flavor...

  6. Hello Kitty,
    I almost made trifles in mason jars for my tea today but went with scones instead. Yours looks wonderful! Your son is doing a lovely job of his painting and I look forward to seeing the finished painting. I would love to see my son get back into painting too but he's too busy these days. Thank you for sharing and joining me for tea. Happy St. Patricks Day, sweet friend!

    Blessings & hugs,
    Sandi

  7. Your son's painting is just precious, Kitty - I love the colorful birds and the pretty background. I can imagine it hanging in a very special place when it is done. Your lemon-berry trifle is wonderful! I love how you serve it in the canning jar, and it is easy, too - something that would be great to serve a crowd. I always wanted to learn to paint. Happy St. Patrick's Day, Dear Friend! Hugs xo Karen

    Your trifle seems too easy...it sure looks good! I love your little shamrock plant, too. My Mom had one that lasted for YEARS & YEARS. I've not had the same luck with them. LOL

  16. The trifle looks wonderful! Did you see the theme for the next challenge? You will have to use that painting and do another vignette.
    Yes, we had a great day celebrating our Irish heritage and seeing the gkids, it was loud, but fun!

  19. The trifle looks delicious. when I was growing up, trifle was "company dessert"! My mom made it in a large glass bowl, but I like the idea of individual servings. Your son is very talented. Love all the beautiful colors he is using.

  20. I have no clue why my comment didn't post just now. I'm sitting in a dark hospital room and must have clicked something random on the keyboard. Sigh.

    I love both the painting AND the trifle recipe.

  24. Kitty, your son is so talented, and he's painting one of my favorite subjects -- birds! I hear them chirping outside our window right now. :) Our neighbor's two sons and friends of our son, Will, are both artists. They can both paint and draw; I think that's amazing!

    This lemon berry trifle looks wonderful; I just LOVE anything lemon. Your presentation in a jar is perfect for spring, Kitty. :-D I'm off to pin this; my Pinterest recipe boards are full of your recipes, my friend. Have a great day!

    Blessings,
