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 . . .

How to make Strawberry Jell-O Trifle Dessert
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!
