How to Make Chocolate Berry Trifle With Toasted Almonds

  1. Toast 1/4 cup sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden. Set aside.
  2. In a blender, combine 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix, 2 cups milk (or skim milk for a lighter version), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Microwave the pudding mixture in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute, then stir. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the pudding is thickened (about 2-3 minutes total).
  4. Cover the pudding and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow it to fully set.
  5. Crush 6 amaretti cookies into coarse crumbs.
  6. Layer half of the chilled chocolate pudding in a trifle bowl (or individual serving glasses).
  7. Top with 1 cup of mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries), 1/8 cup of toasted almonds, and 1/3 of the crushed amaretti cookies.
  8. Repeat layers: add remaining pudding, berries, almonds, and remaining cookies.
  9. For an extra touch, top with whipped cream before chilling for at least 30 minutes before serving.
