 ½     Cup fresh orange juice

2       Kiwi

1       Mango

1       Dragon fruit

1       Papaya

1       Cup milk

1       Cup sour cream

1       Container (8 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed

1       Teaspoon grated orange zest

First, you want to start out by cutting your angel food cake into 1-inch cubes. Once this is done place them in a bowl and pour orange juice over them. Gently mix the cubes to ensure they are all fully coated with juice.

With the Fruit Scoop you can easily scoop and slice the fruits in a matter of seconds! And the best part? You can adjust the size to the fruit so no more unnecessary multiple scooping tools needed! Don’t have your own Adjustable Fruit Scoop? Order yours here!

Then, in another mixing bowl, whisk the milk and pudding mix until it is well blended. Once that is done, whisk in the sour cream and stir in the whipped topping and orange zest.

Now, the fun part! To assemble the trifle, start by placing one-third of the cake cubes into the bottom of a large glass serving bowl. Top that with one-third of sliced kiwi, mango, dragon fruit, and papaya. Then top that layer with one-third of the pudding mixture. Spread the mixture evenly and then repeat adding the layers two more times. Cover and refrigerate the trifle for 1-2 hours before serving and Voila! You have a deliciously refreshing and sweet dessert! Just try not to eat the whole bowl yourself (this recipe serves 10)!
