12-18
ingredients
- 1 (18 ounce) box cake mix, boxes instant pudding (white, yellow or lemon flavor cake mixes are best)
- 2 (3 1/2 ounce) boxes white chocolate pudding, was great, but vanilla
- whipped topping
- 1 quart strawberry, sliced
- 1 (6 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 (12 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
directions
- Prepare cake mix per directions (I also add package of instant pudding to mix, makes it SO moist!) Allow to cool. To speed this step up you can purchase ready-made cake instead.
- Cut cake into small 2x2 inch chunks. You can also tear chunks by hand as the appearance of the cake with be the same!
- Layer half of the cake at the bottom of a deep clear bowl (or trifle bowl if you have one).
- Add half strawberries (saving some for garnish)on top of cake, taking care to slide some down the side of the bowl for better presentation. Do the same with the oranges and pineapple.
- Add layer of pudding.
- Repeat layer of cake, layer of fruits, then layer of pudding, topping with whipped topping. **Sometimes I mix the pudding half and half with whipped topping for a lighter/less rich dessert.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
- Listen to rave reviews!

I'm a busy professional mom of 2, always looking for a way to quick delicious ways to turn my Hamburger Helper budget into Filet Mignon! I can take a simple food and turn it into something that doesn't taste nearly as simple as it is! My biggest problem? I run throught the cupboards, and add anything that catches my eye that I think would be good in a dish. I add it, stirring, tasting, putting it back in the cabinet and grabbing the next impromptu ingredient and end up with an incredible dish- that I have no idea what I just did to get it. OR I know what I did and think I'll remember it next time... but I don't! I've posted a few recipes where I remember what I did- and this is as close as I've come to writing it down!).
I love to get together with my mom and cook for family gatherings or simple grill-outs!
