    Strawberry Praline Trifle

    This strawberry praline trifle recipe is fun to make with layers of fresh strawberries, a praline filling combined with pudding and cool whip.

    Strawberry Praline Trifle Recipe

    When I think of springtime desserts strawberries come to mind. We start to see them in the stores in March coming up from the south and later our own crops are ready for harvest. 

    Today I'm sharing a trifle made with fresh strawberries and pralines. It's nice looking and even better tasting dessert for spring.

    Strawberry-Praline-Trifle-Ingredients

    Trifle seems to come in all shapes and sizes.

    I found a nice inexpensive clear plastic bowl with flat sides for the trifle at Target.

    They did have a couple of pretty traditional glass trifle bowls but I didn't want to spend $35 for something I wasn't sure I would use very often.

    Strawberry-Praline-Trifle-Layers

    Next, I needed to come up with a layering scheme. I decided to use crushed cookies at the bottom. Remember Nilla wafer cookies? We use to eat them a lot when we were kids in school. Anyway, they are still on the shelves at the grocery store and make a great cookie crumble.

    Strawberry-Pint-Table

    I couldn't decide between pudding or whipped topping so I used both.

    The Praline recipe came from rosebakes.com. Her recipe was an easy one and did not require using a candy thermometer or the oven. I did not make actual pralines but a layer of praline filling and used chopped pecans instead of halves. 

    Also, I threw all the ingredients in at once but the filling turned out great and I would definitely use it again.

    Strawberry-Topped-Trifle-Dish

    The top was the best part. Creating a pattern with the strawberries. You can add a few blueberries to give it a patriotic look too.

    Strawberry Praline Trifle Adaptations:

    • Change the layers.
    • Change the fruit.
    • Add a layer of graham crackers.
    • You can use chopped up candy or cookies.
    • Chocolate chips of any flavor.
    • Add a little liquor or coffee to the whipped topping or pudding.

    Overall a very fun and delicious dessert to get creative with and impress your, friends and family.
