Scone: Aunt Lisa's Trifle

This is one of my favorite desserts. The ingredient list makes it sound kind of ghetto, but it really rocks. It’s totally easy, and goes over well at gatherings. There aren’t really specific measurements, you just layer in as much or as little of each thing as you want.

Sponge cake**
1 pkg Strawberry Jello
Fresh Strawberries (about a quart)
Fresh Blueberries (about half a quart)
1 pkg Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding
2 Bananas
1 tub Coolwhip

** My Aunt uses Billet Jelly-roll logs, but I couldn’t find them here in BC, so I use a small store-made sponge cake. Works just as well.

Cut sponge cake into cubes. Place in the bottom of a large bowl.

Prepare Strawberry Jello according to directions on box. Chill about one hour, or until jello just starts to set. Pour over the sponge cake, allow to set until firm.

Slice the strawberries and sprinkle liberally over the jello. Sprinkle with blueberries.

Prepare vanilla pudding according to directions, pour over the layered fruit. Allow to set.

Slice bananas and layer on top of pudding. Spoon the tub of thawed Coolwhip over the bananas. Garnish with a couple sliced strawberries, if desired. Enjoy!
