Have you been hit by Spring Fever yet?  Here’s a delicious trifle desert that is bursting with sweet, juicy fruit flavor along with a creamy texture.

Ingredients:

* 4 cups fresh ripe peaches (about 5 large or 7 medium peaches)
* 3 Tbsp sugar
* 1 – 16 oz loaf of frozen pound cake, thawed and cut into 1 inch cubes
* 1 – 12 oz container Cool Whip, thawed
* 2 (3.9 oz) packages of instant vanilla pudding
* 3 cups of milk
* 1/4 cup slivered almonds

Directions:

1. Peel the peaches and slice into segments. Put in glass bowl and sprinkle them with sugar. Toss and let stand for 20 minutes or until juicy.

2. Prepare pudding by putting the mixes in a bowl and adding the 3 cups of milk. Beat on low speed for about 2 minutes or until it starts to thicken slightly.

3. Place 1/2 of the cubed pound cake in the bottom of the trifle bowl. Then 1/2 of the vanilla pudding spreading to make a nice layer. Then put in 1/2 of the peach slices (we don’t use all the juice). Then 1/2 of the Cool Whip. Be sure to use a spatula to even out each layer. Repeat the process again adding the rest of the cake, then pudding, thenpeaches , then cool whip.

4. Cover the trifle and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours. Sprinkle the top with the slivered almonds just prior to serving.

Here’s a great dessert that is both pretty to look at and delicious to eat!   Layering just a few ingredients in a trifle bowl makes for an impressive presentation.  Perfect for a Valentine brunch or romantic dinner for 2!

You do need to plan for this dessert ahead of time, as it needs to chill for 8 hours or overnight.
