Red, White & Blue Berry Trifle Ingredients: 1 store-bought angel food cake or pound cake (cubed) 1 pint fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced) 1 pint fresh blueberries 1½ cups heavy whipping cream 3 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional: 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese for a richer cream layer  Instructions: Make the whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. (For a richer layer, blend in softened cream cheese before whipping.) Assemble the trifle: In a large glass bowl or trifle dish, layer in this order: Cubed cake Whipped cream Strawberries Blueberries Repeat layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with whipped cream and a flag pattern on top using the berries (optional but super festive!). Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.  Tips:  Use mini cups or mason jars for individual servings. Add a splash of lemon zest to the cream for extra brightness. Can be made 1 day ahead—just keep it chilled!
