Equipment

  • 1 Glass Trifle Bowl
  • 1 Stand mixer with hook attachement

Ingredients

  • 3 cans (15 ounces) sliced canned peaches, drained
  • 16 ounces butter pound cake
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Begin the delicious peach trifle recipe by opening the three 15-ounces cans of sliced peaches and allowing them to drain completely of the liquid. To do this, simply use a fine-mesh strainer over a medium-size bowl. Set aside.
  • Allow the 16 ounces of butter pound cake to thaw completely if using frozen and cut into small cubed pieces and set aside. 
  • Next, use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed. Add the 8 ounces cream cheese and mix until creamy and smooth. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl during the process as needed.
  • Slowly add the 1 ¾ cups heavy cream and continue mixing until soft peaks form. Add the ¼ cup granulated sugar and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Remove and refrigerate until ready to assemble the peach trifle.
  • Begin assembling the peach trifle in a glass trifle bowl or large glass bowl. Start the first layer with half of the cut-up cake, followed by the second layer by topping with an even layer of cream using a spoon. Then add an even layer of peaches.
  • Repeat the three layers again with the other half of the cake, cream, and peaches. 
  • Finish the top with a layer of the prepared whipped cream. Serve immediately or place into the refrigerator until ready to serve and enjoy!
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.

Notes

  • This trifle can sit out at room temperature for up to 2 hours, any more than that, place in the refrigerator until ready to serve again. 
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
  • It can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight.
  • It should not be frozen as it will not keep well.
