RECIPE :: AMERICANA FRUIT TRIFLE

Hello everyone!

Welcome to day #3 on my 4th of July Party IDEAS series!
If you missed the IDEA from DAY #1 on how to make CUPCAKE CONES then make sure to check it out as they are so easy to make!

And if you need an amazing cocktail for your patriotic celebrations, then may I suggest this idea from DAY #2 Americana Pina Colada!

Today I am bringing you one of my all time favorite recipes to bring to a party!

AMERICANA FRUIT TRIFLE! 

There are lots of variations on this classic but I thought I would share MY recipe with you today. You just need to know a couple things though . . .it is super EASY and it's super delish . . . if you are okay with both of those things then you are good to go! ;)

Here's the recipe for Americana Fruit Trifle:

its soooooo QUICK & SIMPLE . . . This is it!

 Ingredients:

~ 1 {big} tub of cool whip

~ 1 angel food cake

~ strawberries & blueberries

I broke up the pieces of angel food cake, dropped them in the trifle bowl then repeated layers of angel food cake, whip cream, strawberries, cake, whip cream, blueberries . . . until I got to the top. Spread another layer of cool whip (to create my 'blank' canvas) made a "star" shape out of the strawberries & then filled in with the blueberries. Simple + delish!

Hope you are enjoying these tips/ ideas for 4th of July Dessert! 

Stay tuned for the #4 IDEA for the 4th of July - see you then!

Today I am bringing you one of my favorite summer beverages!

AMERICANA PINA COLADA!

I am sure that most of you at one time or another have had this popular yummy tasting fruity drink. BUT why not make it a little more fun & add it into a carved out pineapple! I PROMISE you - it DOES taste better! ;)

Here's my IDEA on this fun Americana Pina Colada:

Here's a recipe for Americana Pina Colada:

 You will need:

~ 1 pineapple

~ pineapple juice - 4 oz

~ 3 oz. rum

~ 2 oz. coconut cream

~ 2 cups crushed ice

Prepare:

~ Cut the top of your pineapple & hollow out the inside just enough to fit in your drink. Pour all the ingredients into a blender & blend on high speed. Pour into your hollowed out pineapple & serve. You made add some garnish to your drink: drink umbrella, slice of kiwi, pineapple, etc. ENJOY!
