    I love making this American Trifle Dessert for our family's Labor Day party!  It is also perfect for summer picnics and time together with family.  This recipe is sure to be one of everyone's favorites. It is filled with the goodness of Jell-O, pudding, angel food cake, fruit and whipped cream! It is sure to be a favorite that you will want to make all the time!

    The best part about this dessert recipe, is you can prepare it the day before!  For a busy mom like me, I love that it is something I can make ahead of time before our party.  It leaves time for me to do other things and keep the stress away when planning for a large crowd to come over.  Be sure to try this delicious American Trifle Dessert this summer, you will not be disappointed!
