RED VELVET TRIFLE
I shared my first Red Velvet Cupcake recipe on the blog last week. As you are aware, I always taste-test the recipes several times before posting them here. Red velvet cupcakes were no exception. I’ve baked them several times because my grandchildren adore them and, well, I’m here to indulge them, right? So I have some cupcakes leftover. That’s how these red velvet trifles came to be.
There’s no way to mess up this dessert up. It’s as simple as combining chunk pieces of a delicious cake and fresh fruits. These individual red velvet trifle cups are as delicious as they look. Put a few of these together for your next event and you’ll be the hero of the day, especially with your kids! These are fantastic for birthday parties and are a fun way to encourage children to eat a variety of fruits.
Light off your Barbecue Parties and The 4th of July celebration with these Red Velvet Trifle Cups. Perfect for a summer party or any other event!
The cups are packed with interval layers of cream cheese icing, frosting, red velvet cake, and fruit. In this recipe, I use blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, though you can easily swap them for your or your loved ones’ favorite fruits.
