Berry-Lime-Angel Food Mini Trifles
In a traditional trifle, liqueur moistens cake that's layered with custard and fruit. In our lighter, parfait-like version, we used the sweet juice from mashed blackberries and blueberries to soak into the cake and lime zest to flavor the whipped topping. Fresh strawberries and raspberries will also work well in this recipe.

- Shortcut kitchen tip
- Mashing the berries releases their juice, which adds flavor and moisture to the cake. To easily mash the berries, place them in an 8-inch square glass dish or other container with a wide, flat bottom, and use the back of a spoon.
