Last weekend I had the awesome opprtunity to cook for an hour-long demo at the Salt Lake Home Show! My theme for the hour was “a delicious three course meal, using five ingredients per course!” I started with Magleby’s Rolls using Rhodes Rolls, the main course was my Two-Timin Pasta Bake, and finished the meal off with this delicious Pineapple Fluff Trifle. Oh and I can’t forget, I finished off with my Virgin Sangria (that I made that morning)! The Pineapple Fluff Trifle is so light and so wonderful. Do you like pineapple? If so, you will love this! Do you not like pineapple? You will love this too – it’s so light and not overbearing. Trust me.
I don’t know about you, but I love desserts that are ready in a jiffy. When I have friends or family over I find myself all too often spending WAY too much time in the kitchen. By simplifying with simple desserts it makes for less time in the kitchen and more time with those you love. I must be on a trifle kick. Did you catch my Raspberry Brownie Trifle I made not too long ago? Another fab dessert if I do say so myself!

Recipe Notes
You can serve this immediately, but it is best if you refrigerate it for at least one hour.

Ive made this before and it’s wonderful. My question is how many days ahead can I make it.

Hi Christina, I’m so glad to hear that you found this recipe to be wonderful! I would suggest making this recipe no more than 2-3 days in advance, and if possible I would wait to wash and quarter the strawberries until the same day that you are planning on serving it. Hope that helps!
