Рецепт Mini Berry Cheesecake Trifles for the 4th of July
Mini Berry Cheesecake Trifles- a perfect 4th of July dessert that is not only fun to serve, it is absolutely delicious!
Trifle has always been one of my favorite desserts. It is easy to make, looks gorgeous, and tastes incredible. It doesn’t get much better than that does it? This trifle doesn’t start with a cake base, it has a nutty crumb layer, more like a cheesecake crust. It adds such a great crunch to the trifles!
I am a little late to the whole mason jar bandwagon thing. Everyone else has been serving food in them for ages, but I am just now discovering how fun it is. Don’t know why I didn’t start earlier. I guess I’m getting slow in my old age. LOL!
One of the great things about serving in mason jars (besides the fact that they are so darn cute) is that you can put lids on the trifles, plop them in a cooler, and take them to a picnic. Or just nestle them in ice for an outdoor party. Much easier than trying to transport a big trifle bowl. Mine is so tall it barely fits in the cooler, so these are a much better option!
The fresh berries in this trifle recipe are awesome with the creamy filling and the crunchy layer. I was in heaven with every spoonful. I used blueberries and strawberries, but you could use any red and blue berries. Blackberries and raspberries would also be yummy. The color of the fruit makes these perfect for a 4th of July dessert, but I also added some patriotic treat toppers to mine. Just makes them a little more special.
