Description

A light and luscious dessert featuring layers of juicy peaches, fluffy whipped cream, and soft cake, perfect for summer gatherings.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or canned sliced peaches, drained
  • 1 pound cake or angel food cake, cut into cubes
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, prepare the instant vanilla pudding with cold milk according to package instructions and let it set.
  3. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the set pudding to create a light and fluffy cream layer.
  4. In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, layer cubed cake at the bottom.
  5. Spread a layer of the pudding-cream mixture over the cake.
  6. Add a layer of sliced peaches on top.
  7. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream.
  8. Garnish with extra peach slices and mint leaves if desired.
  9. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute canned peaches with fresh ones when in season.
  • Angel food cake makes the dessert lighter than pound cake.
  • Add a splash of peach schnapps for an adult version.
