- 3 portions of boiling water, split
- 3 portions of cold water, split
- 2 portions of ripe raspberries
- 2 packets of instant vanilla pudding mix, each weighing 3.5 ounces
- 4 portions of milk, split
- 1 packet of cherry-flavored gelatin mix (like Jell-O®), weighing 3 ounces
- 2 portions of fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 packet of strawberry-flavored gelatin mix (like Jell-O®), weighing 3 ounces

Step 1
To assemble this delightful trifle, start by arranging the delectable cake cubes at the base of a glass trifle bowl. Next, mix together the vibrant raspberry gelatin with hot water until fully dissolved, then add a touch of cold water for a refreshing twist. Gently pour this luscious mixture over the cake cubes, ensuring it seeps in perfectly. Scatter the juicy raspberries atop the gelatin layer in an artful manner before letting the trifle cool in the fridge for approximately 45 minutes to set beautifully.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whip up a creamy pudding by blending a package of mix with cold milk for a couple of minutes. Once the pudding is luxuriously smooth, carefully spread it over the raspberry layer in the trifle bowl. Allow this layer to chill for another 45 minutes until the pudding sets to a tantalizing perfection.
Step 3
Now, prepare the cherry gelatin by dissolving it in hot water, adding a hint of cold water, and pouring it gently over the pudding layer. Scatter the cherries over the gelatin, creating a colorful and flavorful display. Return the trifle to the refrigerator for another 45 minutes to let the cherry layer set beautifully.
Step 4
In a fresh bowl, whisk together the remaining package of pudding mix with cold milk until velvety smooth. Spread this pudding layer over the trifle and let it chill for another 45 minutes until set.
Step 5
For the final fruity layer, mix the strawberry gelatin with hot and cold water before pouring it gracefully over the pudding layer. Artfully arrange the luscious strawberries over the gelatin and let the trifle chill completely in the refrigerator for about an hour to set to perfection.
Step 6
To finish this masterpiece, generously spread a layer of fluffy whipped topping over the trifle and adorn the top with reserved berries for a stunning presentation. Enjoy this delectable creation with friends and family!
