How to make Strawberry Jell-O Trifle Dessert! A fun and easy strawberry Jell-O recipe that kids will love to make with you!

Welcome to our 9th trifle post in our Ultimate Trifle Desserts Series!  If you like Jello desserts, you gotta try this one.  This Strawberry Jello Trifle is delicious and very light and refreshing. It has all the ingredients of our other trifles, cake, cream, pudding, and berries, and then you add Jell-O!  I think it’s a great snack for kids too, maybe in smaller dessert cups . . .  or I’m thinking this would make a fun Thanksgiving dessert even.  Add whatever fruit you want and try different Jell-o flavors to make this delicious dessert.  It’s an easy Jell-O dessert!

 This new Strawberry Jello Dessert was my husband’s idea.  We were all at home one Sunday, and Sweet Teen wanted to make another trifle.  My husband suggested putting Strawberry Jell-O in the trifle.  We all thought that sounded kinda weird at first- and then we realized that Jello, cake and cream are a match made in HEAVEN.

Jell-O is a fun ingredient to work with.  For many years Jell-O has been part of many dessert recipes or Jell-O salad recipes, like this Jell-O Strawberry Banana Fluff Salad (at Saving Cent By Cent).  So why use Jell-O gelatin?  I think it’s an easy, and cheap way to add flavor to your recipes.  Jell-O is also so fun to make and it creates a lightness in your recipes.  The strawberry Jell-O in this trifle recipe makes it automatically taste like summer, and who doesn’t love a delicious summer dessert?  So check out the details on this trifle dessert below . . .

For this recipe, you will need strawberry Jell-O, fresh sliced strawberries, whipped cream, and vanilla pudding.

 

 

 

 

We also tried using the NEW Jell-o Simply Good Vanilla Bean Pudding.  It’s a much purer-tasting (is that a word?) pudding.  It’s less yellow and more white in color.  I loved the flavor.

 

 

 

It’s still instant pudding but it’s made with real vanilla bean (you can even see the specks!) and it has no artificial dyes or preservatives.

 

 

 

 

Cut the set Jello and cake into cubes, and layer all ingredients (pudding first) in a trifle dish and MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY!

Then start layering in a medium size bowl or trifle dish.  Start with the pudding, then add cake cubes so they can soak in the pudding.  Add the fruit, whipped cream, and Jello.  To make it look pretty, stick the outer-edge row of to the glass in a nice line, alternating strawberries and cake cubes.Continue layering until all the ingredients are gone, finishing with whip cream on top.  Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.  Enjoy!

New movie coming out that I want to see. I remembe New movie coming out that I want to see. I remember when this happened in 1989. The boy Josh was lost in an abandoned mine in UT for 5 days. It was a miracle how they found him. He was about my age so it made an impression on me. Now this true story has been made into a movie called Faith of Angels. @faithofangelsfilm 
Check out the trailer here: https://upvir.al/158749/lp158749  DO YOU REMEMBER this news story?
Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @hal Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @halecentretheatre lately!! The Nutty Professor had us laughing all the way to the end and the music was clever and fun.  If you’ve been trying to decide about this one, I’d say don’t miss it! #halecentretheatre #thenuttyprofessormusical #halecentretheatresandy
Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Ticket Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Tickets were only $8.01 on 8/01 and the zoo opened at 8:01 am. 
I went with my nieces and nephews and it was VERY BUSY! (like Disneyland busy). We arrived about 11 am and every parking lot was completely full and side streets were filling fast. Needless to say we had to walk a bit in the heat just to get to the front gate. There were lines to get in, lines, at snack shops, and definitely a line for the train. BUT we saw some animals—-lions, tigers, bears (oh my!)…plus giraffes, zebras, and a leopard.  It was definitely worth $8.01 but it’s not for the faint of heart. A fun adventure! #hoglezoo #801day #familyactivities #hoglezooutah 🐒🐅🦒🐘🦓
So the amount of car wash centers popping up every So the amount of car wash centers popping up everywhere has made me curious. Why are they everywhere?! So we decided to try is and see what the fuss was all about. Here’s the PROS AND CONS we found:

Pros:
• Gentle yet very thorough wash—no scratching!
• Attendants right there to help you
• Fun lights and cool sprayers—it’s like a show!
• Powerful vacuums and extras for detailing

Cons:
• So expensive! This is not your regular $5 car wash. 
• They have limited hours. This one closes by 7 pm so no car washing whenever you want
• Kinda an eyesore to have a car wash in every corner in town. 

What do you think? What Pros and Cons have you found? Do you like these big car was centers?
