How to Make Summer Trifle

1. Cut one (1) pound pound cake loaf in half lengthwise, then slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
2. Line the sides and bottom of a large, clear trifle bowl with a layer of pound cake slices.
3. In a bowl, combine 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding prepared according to package directions, 1/2 cup sliced bananas, 1/2 cup maraschino cherries (drained), 1/2 cup sliced fresh peaches, and 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries. Spoon half of this fruit mixture over the pound cake layer.
4. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 teaspoon aromatic bitters with 1/2 cup pineapple juice.
5. Drizzle half of the pineapple juice and bitters mixture over the fruit layer.
6. Add another layer of pound cake slices. Top with the remaining fruit mixture and pudding.
7. In a separate bowl, gently fold 1 cup plain Greek yogurt into 2 cups whipped cream.
8. Spread the yogurt-whipped cream mixture evenly over the trifle.
9. Sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts).
10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and the trifle to chill.
