Ingredients

2 pints fresh blueberries
Angel food cake see notes
9 ounces whipped topping I used coconut whipped topping
3 cups vanilla Greek yogurt see notes
Lemon zest optional

Instructions

Prep ingredients: Prepare fruit, cut angel food cake into cubes and make sure whipped topping is thawed before beginning.
Make yogurt mixture: In a medium-large bowl, combine the whipped topping with Greek yogurt and set aside.
Assemble trifle: In a classic trifle bowl, start by adding in a layer of cubed angel food cake on the bottom of the bowl. Next carefully arrange the blueberries and strawberries in a single layer. Spoon on a layer of the whipped topping-yogurt mixture and spread evenly. Then repeat by adding in another layer of angel food cake, berries, more whipped topping mixture and continue adding in layers until you end with a layer of whipped topping mixture and decorate the top with more berries and lemon zest (if you’d like). You should get 3-4 layers total. Chill trifle bowl in fridge until ready to serve.
