How to Make Lemon Strawberry Trifle

  1. Prepare the lemon and strawberry jello according to package directions. Pour each into separate shallow dishes and refrigerate until set.
  2. Once the jello is set, cut into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Slice a pound cake into 1/2 inch thick slices. Cut the slices into 1-inch squares or cubes.
  4. Wash and hull about 1 pound of fresh strawberries, slicing some in half and leaving some whole.
  5. In a trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, layer the ingredients: Start with a layer of lemon jello, followed by a layer of pound cake, then fresh strawberries, and finally a dollop of whipped topping.
  6. Repeat the layers: strawberry jello, pound cake, strawberries, whipped topping.
  7. Continue layering until you reach the top of the bowl, ending with whipped topping.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to chill thoroughly before serving. Garnish with extra fresh strawberries and a sprig of mint (optional).
