A family favorite dessert

This recipe has been in our family for many years and we’re not sure now who first made it. I do know it is always at one of our gatherings, whether it is a holiday, baby shower, graduation or summertime celebration.
 
Fresh peaches are amazing but honestly, we almost always use canned and it is delicious. So, it is an anytime- time-of-year dessert with ingredients readily available.

Light dessert

The pudding part is so creamy and light as is the angel food cake. The dollops of raspberry jam throughout compliment all of the other ingredients. 

Serve the trifle in a large, clear glass bowl if you have one. All the layers look too pretty to hide. A trifle bowl, salad bowl, crystal bowl or even a punch bowl all work.

Sometimes I make an Angel Food cake from a box but the grocery store usually has prepared ones in the bakery section. Often I will pick up two and store the extra one in the freezer so I have it available when I want a quick dessert.

Angel food cake is light in calories but there are a few things that can be done to really lighten the calories in this dessert. Instead of whipping cream, substitute an 8-ounce container of thawed, lite or sugar-free frozen whipped topping. It works perfectly. Use peaches in light or extra-light syrup and sugar-free pudding. Though I haven’t tried it, I suppose you could even use sugar-free jam or a fruit spread.

However you make it, it is a lovely dessert!

    I have a whole peach theme going this week because I keep finding great peach recipes.

    Good thing too since I livee in the heart of peach country and this is peach season. This would make the perfect peach night dessert!
    Our local grocery store has sugar free angel food cakes too, making it even lighter!

    That just screams refreshing to me. Boy does it look good. I like the idea of the lighter version and peaches have always been a favorite of mine.
