Dreamy Blueberry and Coconut Trifle

Layers of creamy smooth vanilla pudding layered between juicy blueberries on a bed of coconut-infused lady's fingers and then covered with a wonderful dreamy whipped cream topping

What a lovely easy dessert we have here! This takes just minutes to prepare and once chilled, you will find one portion won't be enough! So you might have to make two of these!

For this recipe, we've used some basic pantry ingredients, so you should be able to make this without any difficulty. Plus it's a nice No-Bake chilled dessert.

This dessert is absolutely dreamy!

Served chilled, you get a bottom layer of ladysfingers, you know, those Italian sponge-type cookies in the shape of fingers.

Otherwise known as Savoiardi. You should be able to find them in the baking section of the supermarket.

Here's a packet I bought from Lidl, they're pretty inexpensive and last for a long time if kept sealed.

I would say these are the best to use as a base if you're making this dessert, or perhaps a trifle. the fingers will absorb any liquid, and as if by magic, they take on a cake like texture!

For this recipe, we've kept it really simple, to save on time.

So we've used instant vanilla pudding or custard, lady's fingers instead of homemade cake (you could use some slices of our Blueberry and Lemon Crumble Cake for the base if you have any leftover), and some regular double or heavy cream.

Again, if you didn't want to whip up some fresh cream, you can swap the topping for cool whip if you prefer.

The trifle doesn't take long to prepare.

It's simply made up of a few layers and you can double the recipe and make double layers, or depending on the serving bowl or dish, makeup enough to fit into whatever you are going to use.

You can also make this up into individual glasses or ramekins. I think that would look nice too for a party.

So let's get straight to this easy recipe and see how to make this delicious no bake dreamy trifle!
