It’s my pleasure today to share a yummy recipe from another Love Inspired Author Irene Hannon, a bestselling, award-winning author, who writes romance and romantic suspense. Here’s Irene:

“This is one of my favorite summertime recipes. It’s easy to make, cool and refreshing, and relatively healthy (for a dessert!). It was shared with me by a dear friend, and has become a staple at hot-weather family gatherings. If you want to go for a patriotic touch, substitute blueberries for the kiwi!

ENGLISH TRIFLE

1 angel food cake

1 (3 ½ -ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix

2 cups skim milk

2 cups whipped topping

1 pound of strawberries, sliced

1 kiwi, halved longwise and sliced

Brush any extra-brown crust from cake. Tear cake into 1-inch pieces.

Prepare pudding using skim milk. Fold in whipped topping.

Place 1/3 cake in 3-quart glass bowl. Top with 1/3 pudding mixture and 1/3 strawberries. Repeat twice. Add kiwi to top layer. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
Yield: 8-10 servings–Irene“

That sounds excellent! Thanks, Irene.

Well, that gives you not one but two great summer recipes!
Happy summer cooking…and eating. GRIN
