Recipe FAQ's
Yes, however the fruit should be thawed and drained before using.
No, the lady fingers will soften some, but they will not get soggy overnight.
Tips
- Fresh or frozen cherries can be used. If using frozen, all them to thaw completely before assembling the fruit mixture.
- Making this trifle the day before it will be on the menu is highly recommended. Be sure there is at least 4 hours refrigeration time before serving.
Variations
- Use any fresh berries of your choice in place of the cherries and blueberries. Raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries all will work interchangeably.
- Substitute pound cake or angel food cake cut into cubes for the ladyfingers
- Sugar free vanilla pudding can stand in for the yogurt. If you use pudding, do not add the sweetener or extract.
Equipment
Serving Suggestions
