Fresh peaches and fresh blueberries mingle in layers of peach pudding and blueberry cream in these adorable summertime mini dessert trifles.
Peach Blueberry Mini Trifles
Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
My recipe of the day with #StoneFruits is for a very simple and easy peach and blueberry trifle.
Authentically, the dessert hails from British cuisine, but this version is by no means authentic, nor does it even try to be.
This is something simple, that even children can help prepare, mainly because it is both no-bake and no-cook (except for heating a cup of water).
The trifle is comprised of both fresh peaches along with fresh blueberries, held within layers of peach pudding and blueberry infused cream, along with bites of angel food cake for good measure.
It’s perfect for those who love shortcake, or those who are fond of puddings and fresh fruit. You can build these in champagne glasses, but I like family style done in half-pint canning jars. That way I can pop the lid on them until I want to serve, then top with some whipped cream.
It makes them very portable and if you use a slightly larger jar you can add the whipped cream and still get the lid on, for easy transport in the lunch box.
If you check out the silicone freezer jam jars I have also used today for my seven layer dip cups, you can see the advantage of that for kids when you don’t want to risk having them break the jars going back and forth to school.
So yet another school lunch idea, all just in time for the tidal wave of peaches at the market. Peaches are my favorite fruit (well, after lemons, which I use daily in tea) so that tidal wave is no problem for me.

Step 6 says peach pudding. Have you combined the peach gelatin and the vanilla pudding.
Looks lovely!!
Yes. The gelatin gets dissolved then stirred together with the pudding mix to flavor and to make peach pudding. I’ll fix the typo later when I’m off my phone. 😀
