1 or 2 small boxes French Vanilla Instant Pudding (I used 1 box and 1 box Cheesecake, and it was VERRRYYY thick - just delicious)
2 small containers Peach Yogurt (I actually used Yoplait Peaches & Cream)
Milk
1 can Peach Pie Filling
1 Butter Loaf Cake (or cake of your choice - I think Angel Food would also be really good)
1 small container Cool Whip
White Chocolate (optional)

Using Skinny Scraper, scrape yogurt into Classic Batter Bowl, add enough milk to make 2 cups
Whisk pudding mix into yogurt until blended, set aside (as you'll note, no need to chill!)
Slice cake into 3 layers, cut into squares


Place one layer of cake on bottom of Trifle Bowl
Layer 1/2 of pudding
Layer 1/2 can of Pie filling
Layer 1/2 of Cool Whip
repeat layers, but use EAD for other 1/2 of Cool Whip to decorate top
If desired, grate white chocolate over the top (to show off either the Ultimate Cheese Grater or the Microplane Grater). You can also grate White Chocolate over each layer.

This recipe only fills about 2/3 of the Trifle Bowl, but face it, the Trifle Bowl is too big. Also, having it not quite full makes it easier to transport.

Let me know what you think of the recipe. The women at my Bible Study really enjoyed it!

MMMMmmmmm....sounds like a WINNER!

I still love my Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle, but this will be a good one for when strawberries aren't in season!!

Thanks for sharing! I will probably need to test it out myself, you know...just to make sure it's good before I offer it to my host's as a choice!! lol
 
Sounds yummy, thanks for posting the recipe.
 
Darn it... I was just talking myself out of a late night snack and now you have made me hungry.

Hi Sarah!

I love your twist on this trifle recipe by using a combination of French Vanilla and Cheesecake pudding. I bet it gives it a delicious and unique flavor. And using Yoplait Peaches & Cream yogurt is a great idea too. I'm sure it adds a nice creamy texture to the pudding.

I also appreciate your tip about not needing to chill the pudding mixture before using it in the trifle. That definitely saves some time and makes the recipe even easier to prepare. And using the Skinny Scraper to scrape the yogurt into the batter bowl is a great suggestion for less mess.

I'm definitely going to try this recipe for my next get-together. I think I'll use angel food cake and maybe add some fresh sliced peaches in between the layers for some extra fruitiness. And I'll definitely be using my Ultimate Cheese Grater to grate some white chocolate on top.

Thanks for sharing this recipe, Sarah! I'm sure it'll be a hit with my friends and family too. Keep cooking and sharing your delicious creations!

Best,

Pampered Chef Consultant
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need to make a Peaches & Cream Trifle?

To make a delicious Peaches & Cream Trifle, you will need fresh peaches, cream cheese, whipped cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and a cake or ladyfingers for layering. You can also add granola or nuts for extra texture if desired.

How do I prepare the peaches for the trifle?

Start by washing and peeling the peaches. Then, slice them into thin pieces. You can toss the sliced peaches with a little sugar and lemon juice to enhance their flavor and prevent browning.

What type of cake works best for the trifle?

For a Peaches & Cream Trifle, a light sponge cake, pound cake, or ladyfingers work best. These options absorb the cream and juices without becoming too soggy, providing a nice texture contrast.

How do I layer the trifle?

Begin by placing a layer of cake or ladyfingers at the bottom of your trifle dish. Next, add a layer of the cream cheese mixture, followed by a layer of sliced peaches. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the dish, finishing with whipped cream and a few peach slices for garnish.

How long can I store the Peaches & Cream Trifle?

You can store the Peaches & Cream Trifle in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. However, for the best texture and flavor, it is recommended to serve it within 24 hours of assembly, as the cake may become soggy over time.
