More Ways to Make Large Family Strawberry Trifle
This strawberry trifle is a great dessert just the way it is, but you may decide to try some other ways to make it. Variety is the spice of life! It also saves a lot of money to purchase fruits that are in season so it makes sense to use other fruit options or other fruits in addition to strawberries. You might want to add blueberries, bananas, peaches, or blackberries. Another option is to use different types of cakes between the layer. This recipe uses strawberry cake, but you can also make it with angel food cake, pound cake, or chocolate cake.
I have lots of other fruity desserts your large family might like. Try my fresh peach cobbler if you like peaches. My homemade strawberry shortcake is another strawberry dessert. If you have an air fryer, then my air fryer apple fries are delicious. Everyone will enjoy making personal fruit pizzas and if it’s the Fourth of July or Memorial Day, then make a Fruit Pizza Flag Cookie.
