FOUR LAYER DELIGHT

This is great dessert for any time of year. You can easily change the flavor by substituting a different pudding in place of the butterscotch (we also like chocolate a lot).

GLADYS' ANGELIC STRAWBERRY DESSERT



Gladys' Angelic Strawberry Dessert image

If you are like our family and looking for delicious, beautiful, easy, kid friendly plus a healthier dessert, try my mother's recipe --an old family favorite. This is our tradition for the Fourth of July, and sons request this being served. I tell anyone I serve this to that only angels can eat this:) My adult sons have fought over who gets to lick the bowl clean-they are fun. This is a trifle so you should show it off in a beautiful clear bowl. Sometimes I have used fresh raspberries with a white chocolate pudding instead of vanilla. The time does NOT include the chilling time of 2 hours. I think this could easily be changed to fit diabetic diets. Also, you can set aside some of the pudding mixture, cake, and berries into separate portions and assemble the next day, if you cannot eat the entire recipe the first day. When I do that, I use my individual clear glass bowls to show off. Enjoy and have more!
