Dessert Trifle

Very easy to make and versitile. This is a family favorite.
***If making gluten free, check your labels when purchasing your ingredients as manufacturers do change their formulas at times***

Ingredients:
2 packages of your favorite instant sugar free pudding or gelatin mix
2 large tubs whipped topping -fat free (sugar is minimal)

Optional: (make it unique!)
bananas
fresh or frozen berries
grapes
fresh or sugar free canned pinapple
peanut butter

Reserve a little of the whipped topping for the very top of the dessert. Split the remaining whipped topping into two batches and mix one package of pudding/gelatin into each batch.

Layer your ingredients into your serving dish, top it off with the reserved whipped topping.

Refrigerate at least 30 minutes for the pudding to solidify a little.

Makes approximately 12 servings.

Here are a few varaitions I have made:

Elvis Trifle:
Using chocolate pudding in one batch and cheesecake pudding and 2 tbsp peanut butter in the other. Sliced banana as a middle layer and a few pieces on top. Chopped walnuts on top for decor. I tossed the bananas in a little lemon juice to prevent browning.

Very Berry Trifle:
Strawberry gelatin in one batch, and cheesecake in the other. Reserve a few whole berries for the decoration on top. Mix the rest into the strawberry gelatin batch.
