Angel Food Cake Trifle

This angel food cake trifle is one of my favorite desserts to throw together when I need to take something to an event. It's delicious, light & refreshing. A great dessert for a cookout or barbecue. Everytime I make this people rave over it and ask for the recipe. Every time, I promise. It may not look like much, but it's one of those desserts you keep going back for seconds...plus it's on the healthier side because it's made with angel food cake and fruit! I got this recipe from my college roommate Jill when we were in college, and I've been making it ever since (I won't say how many years ago that was because it makes me feel old!!) This recipe is super simple, but you won't regret it!
