Spring has finally come to Minnesota. Well, at least I hope so. Technically the trees don’t have any buds yet, but the robins have descended. That’s a good sign, right? To help bring a bit of spring from the outdoors into my home, I recently received a bouquet of tulips from FTD. Receive a special discount of $10 off select spring bouquets courtesy of Lucky Leaf. 
While I might not have any tulips yet outside, at least I can have my own spring indoors with these beautiful flowers. 
To coincide with my spring tulips I also created a delicious Strawberry Vanilla Trifle. I was inspired by Lucky Leaf’s Strawberry White Chocolate Trifle, but I decided to add a few touches that are a better fit for my family. 
For instance, the white chocolate mousse is made using cream cheese. My guys are not big fan of this ingredient, so instead I decided to swap in some vanilla pudding. It is an easy switch and creates a better dessert specifically for my family. 
The perfect mix of a fresh strawberry dessert paired with spring blooms creates an atmosphere of a refreshing newness within our house. Spring has arrived indeed. 
- 1 can (21 oz) Lucky Leaf Premium Strawberry Pie Filling
- 10 shortbread cookies, broken
- 1 batch vanilla pudding
- 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping
- Assemble trifle by layering pie filling, broken cookies, vanilla pudding, and whipped topping in a trifle bowl or individual glasses. Top with dollops of whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be made in individual trifle dishes for a single serving.
Of course, the ultimate compliment to any recipe is an empty container.

I love that you swapped out the cream cheese for vanilla pudding! I personally love cream cheese, but I have several boxes of vanilla pudding that are sitting in my pantry. I wouldn’t have thought to use it in a trifle. Can’t wait to make this!
What a beautiful dessert. It looks so elegant but seems so simple. I can’t wait to try this for my family.
This looks so beautiful and refreshing! Today was 90 degrees so a cupful of this would have been a treat.
This looks really delicious! I love pudding and I love trifles, but I’ve never made one myself. I’m not sure why not, because they look suuuuper easy to do!
Oh that looks so good and easy! Carter would love it and they look so cute!!! Will have to make these for lunch or dinner this week! Fun!
I also like to take recipes and put my own spin on them. I have come up with some of my families favorite recipes by doing this.
I love to make some of these recipes for 4th of July!
