No-Bake Sangria Fruit Trifle
Enjoy a delightful No-Bake Sangria Fruit Trifle that combines layers of fresh fruit, creamy filling, and crispy ladyfingers for an effortless dessert experience.
Ingredients
- 30 ladyfinger cookies hard, crispy type
- 6-8 cups fresh fruit and berries cut large pieces into bite-sized bits
- 8 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy cream chilled for easy whipping
- 1 tsp strawberry extract optional for extra flavor
- 1/3 cup strawberry preserves
- 2 cups sangria or grape juice for soaking
Instructions
- Begin by washing and preparing your fruit, slicing any larger pieces into bite-sized morsels.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk, whisking until silky and smooth.
- Next, incorporate the chilled heavy cream, starting on low speed and then ramping up to high until medium peaks form, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the strawberry extract and preserves, mixing gently until everything is combined without overmixing.
- In a shallow dish, pour the sangria and dip ladyfinger cookies lightly, then layer them at the bottom of a large trifle bowl.
- Spread a generous layer of creamy filling over the cookies, then add a scattering of fresh fruit. Repeat these layers until the bowl is full, finishing with a colorful pile of fruit on top.
- For the best flavor, let the trifle chill in the refrigerator overnight, keeping it cool until you're ready to serve.
