Strawberry Peach Trifle Recipe | Trifle Bowl Desserts | Party Food

For an easy, refreshing summer dessert using fresh fruit, try making Trifle bowl desserts with this favorite Strawberry Peach Trifle recipe! It's related to Peach Melba.

Trifle Bowl Desserts




Strawberry Peach Trifle


I made this yummy Strawberry Peach Trifle once for my charming son-in-law's birthday.  Trifle Bowl Desserts are so easy to make.  He enjoys Angel Food Cake, so I always try to incorporate the sponge cake into a birthday cake recipe for him.

One of the gals in my office is always bringing in Trifle to celebrate special occasions, and I've been gathering quite a collection of trifle dessert recipes on my Pinterest Boards for pinspiration!

This fresh fruit recipe was just something I happened to throw together in a pinch yesterday, after I got finished scraping wallpaper from my upstairs bathroom, which I'm redecorating.

But now the real story begins!

I found a great elegant Trifle bowl to replace my smaller Trifle bowl that I've had for years.  The new one is quite heavy, even when empty.

Peach Strawberry Trifle Dessert


Both my grandson and son-in-law have summer birthdays. Years ago we celebrated with a family birthday party for Slugger on Saturday, and a joint party to finish the leftovers on Sunday.

I put together the fruit trifle and had it in a freezer bag on my lap in the car.  As my husband backed out of the driveway, it tipped over, all about 4 pounds of it. A new Summer Olympic Sport was born!  Catch The Trifle Bowl Desserts Save - and I won a Gold Medal!

In the process, I broke and dislocated the joint in my pinky finger on my right hand, which happens to be my dominant (read - mouse) hand.  Both hubby and youngest daughter voted right then and there to eat dinner first, and worry about me going to the ER or Walk-In Clinic later, after dinner. So after a visit to the Emergency Room later that night; some x-rays, a huge long needle as a pain blocker, and a realignment of my finger from a 45 degree angle I was in a splint for 6 weeks and had an appointment with my Orthopaedist!

He's actually turning out to be my buddy since he put together my broken wrist when I fell off a scooter when on vacation in Bermuda!

 But it didn't stop me from crocheting my handmade Dish Cloths for my Moomettes Crochet shop!

Simple Graham Cracker Pudding Recipe | Dessert Sweet Treats

This is my go-to recipe for Graham Cracker Pudding dessert when I need to serve or bring a quick dessert.  Whether for an easy weeknight meal, or if you need to prep something quickly for an upcoming party, this no bake dessert is sure to please your guests.

Graham Cracker Chocolate Pudding Trifle

Graham Cracker Pudding Trifle Dessert

My mom would always make this simple yet delicious trifle dessert as it always was a family favorite.  I make it too for my family and grandkids.

Graham Cracker Pudding Dessert Trifle

Usually I have the ingredients already on hand as a kitchen staple.  This is a simple dessert recipe that can be made up in about less than 10 minutes.

I always use cooked pudding, as the texture is much smoother than instant pudding.  With the invention of microwaves, the pudding cooks up in about 6 minutes !  Of course, you can still cook the pudding on the stove top, like my mom used to do !

Use your family's favorite pudding flavor.  Ours just happens to be chocolate !

Layered Graham Cracker Pudding Dessert


All you need is cooked pudding (or instant pudding if that's your thing), graham crackers, milk, and whipped topping.  My mom always used real whipped cream, but I cheat and use Cool Whip Topping.

The warm pudding softens the graham crackers a bit, which gives the pudding some texture.

When I bring it somewhere, I just make it in a disposable pan.  You can also place it in a pretty Trifle Bowl !

Dream Whip Pie | Instant Pudding | Irish Dessert Recipe for SaintPatrick's Day



Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th.  As my husband's family is Irish, we like to to get together with my daughters, son-in-law and grandkids to have our traditional boiled dinner of corned beef, cabbage, and carrots the Sunday before.  This year I surprised the grandchildren and made an easy recipe using Dream Whip Pie with green Pistachio pudding as our Irish dessert to top off the evening!

Dream Whip Pie



I found the cutest leprechaun St. Patrick's Day lollipops and used them to garnish the pie.  The grandkids were in their glory and enjoyed the special Irish dessert "treat"!

Instant Pudding Pie Dessert



This pie was an easy recipe to make, and can easily be adapted for any occasion or holiday - Valentine's Day, Birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas, just by changing the flavor of the pudding.

I always have boxes of instant pudding for Dream Whip recipes on hand in the pantry and Pillsbury pie crusts in the freezer.

You could use banana, chocolate or strawberry instant pudding and turn it into a quick dessert to bring to brunch or pot-luck dinners!

Pumpkin Recipes | Gingerbread Trifle | Cake Mix Desserts

Fall is all about the Great Pumpkin!  Enjoy pumpkin picking,  leaf peeping and beautiful autumn foliage!  Enjoy this easy Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle compote - use either canned pumpkin squash or the real thing!

Pumpkin Recipes

Gingerbread Trifle Pumpkin Dessert


I'd have to say Fall is my favorite season.  Perhaps because I've lived in New England all of my life, I take it for granted that people everywhere enjoy the changing seasons - the changing colors of the leaves, kids going back to school and Halloween.  When I was a kid, people used to rake and then burn their leaves that fell from the trees - but I guess now the EPA has put an end to that with environmental conservation laws and air pollution.  Yet I can still remember that smell of burning leaves in the air that meant fall was here.

We celebrate my granddaughter's birthday this October.  Instead of a traditional birthday cake, we enjoyed Butterscotch Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle.  Gingerbread isn't only for Christmas desserts!

Fall Treats


This delightful easy fall treat dessert compote was made using box cake mix, boxed Butterscotch Pudding and Pumpkin Pie filling.

For an extra treat, top with crushed Heath  Bar Crunch Bits 'O Brickle Toffee Bits and Whipped Topping!

This quick pudding dessert is a treat for any Halloween party and would be magnificent idea for Thanksgiving desserts too!
