How To Make Peach Trifle with Angel Food Cake
- Chop the peaches into small pieces and remove the pits. Add the chopped peaches to a large bowl.
- Add the vanilla extract, sugar or monk fruit sweetener, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the peaches. Thoroughly mix until combined.
- Transfer half of the peaches to a separate bowl. Using a potato masher, mash the peaches to release their juices. Add the mashed peaches back into the bowl with the remaining peaches and stir together.
- In another large bowl, add the milk. Gradually whisk in the vanilla instant pudding mix, following the package directions, until a thick pudding forms.
- Once the pudding has thickened, gently fold in the Cocowhip until smooth and creamy.
- Cut the angel food cake into 1-2 inch cubes.
- To assemble the trifle, layer the angel food cake cubes, peaches, and pudding mixture in a trifle bowl. Repeat the layers until the bowl is full.
- Cover the trifle bowl with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-6 hours before serving. Optional: Top with whipped cream, fresh peaches, and a dusting of cinnamon before serving.
Expert Tips
- Mash Half of the Peaches: Mash half of the peaches while leaving the rest chopped for the perfect texture. The mashed peaches release extra juices and flavor, while the remaining peach pieces keep the trifle from becoming mushy.
- Angel Food Cake: Cut the angel food cake into evenly sized cubes so the layers look beautiful and the cake absorbs the flavors evenly.
- Gently Fold: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture once the pudding has thickened. This helps keep the filling light, creamy, and fluffy.
- Chill the Peach Trifle: Chill the trifle for several hours before serving so the flavors can meld together and the cake softens perfectly.
Serving Suggestions
We recommend assembling this peach trifle in a trifle bowl. This trifle bowl is 8 inches in diameter, 8 1/4 inches high, and can hold about 16 cups. This recipe makes 16 servings, or about 16 cups so it is perfect! Also, assembling it in a trifle bowl makes it a showstopper and shows off the layers! If you don’t have a trifle bowl you can use a large bowl.
Storage Instructions
This peach trifle with angel food cake will last up to two days in the refrigerator. It is best enjoyed after making it and when it is chilled. To store any leftovers, place tin foil or saran wrap over the top of the trifle dish and place it in the refrigerator. If you would like to store individual servings, refrigerate the trifle in airtight containers.
