Red White and Blue Trifle
This trifle is a go-to for summer parties, especially the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, or Labor Day. You can also check out a few of my other holiday-ready favorites like red white & blue chocolate covered strawberries, red white & blue no-bake cheesecake in a jar, or 4th of July Cupcakes, if you’re planning a festive spread. It’s also great for potlucks or family gatherings when you want something that feels a little fancy but is still super easy to make.
The best part is how flexible this dessert is. You can swap in any berries you like, use a sugar substitute if you’re keeping it low carb, and even make it ahead so it’s ready when your guests arrive. With a little layering and a lot of flavor, this trifle is as fun to build as it is to serve.
