01
Step 1
Start by placing the cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle bowl. In a large measuring cup, dissolve the raspberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, then stir in 1 cup of cold water. Pour this mixture over the cake cubes and gently press down. Scatter the raspberries evenly on top, then pop the trifle in the fridge to chill for about 45 minutes, until the gelatin is set.

Step 2
While that’s chilling, whisk together one package of pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk for a couple of minutes until smooth. Spread the pudding over the raspberries in the trifle and return it to the fridge for another 45 minutes to let the pudding set.

Step 3
Next, dissolve the cherry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, stir in 1 cup cold water, and pour it over the pudding layer. Arrange the cherries on top, then chill again for around 45 minutes until that layer sets.

Step 4
Whisk up the second package of pudding mix with 2 cups cold milk just like before, then spread it over the cherries. Pop the trifle back in the fridge for about 45 minutes to let the pudding firm up.

Step 5
Finally, mix the strawberry gelatin with 1 cup boiling water and 1 cup cold water, pour it over the pudding, and spread the strawberries over the top. Let the trifle chill for about an hour until everything is completely set. Finish by spreading whipped topping over the whole thing and garnish with the berries you reserved. Enjoy!
