Author Notes:

Layers of cake, custard, and berries in a magnificent presentation is hard to beat! I am partial to a homemade custard but instant vanilla pudding may be substituted for a speedy version. Make ahead and refrigerate until serving.

This recipe is part of Holly's Trim & Terrific Glitz and Glamour Dessert Party, see related features links below for that article and more fabulous dessert recipes from Holly.

Ingredients: 1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
3 cups skim milk
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 reduced fat frozen pound cake (10 3/4 ounces), thawed
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
1/3 cup orange liqueur or orange juice
1 quart raspberries, strawberries, sliced or blueberries
1 container (8 ounces) fat free frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions: In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add the milk, stirring until smooth. Stir in the beaten egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, and remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla, refrigerate until chilled.

Cut pound cake into 1 inch slices. Arrange half of the slices on bottom of trifle bowl or deep glass bowl. Spread with raspberry jam and drizzle with orange liqueur. Layer with half the berries, half the custard and half the whipped topping. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients beginning with the pound cake and ending with the whipped topping. Top with toasted almonds.
