Ingredients
Scale
Angel Food Cake
- 1 prepared angel food cake cut or pulled into 1 inch pieces
Raspberry Chardonnay Sauce
- 1 cup (236 ml) ONEHOPE Chardonnay
- ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
- 3 cups (340 g) fresh or frozen raspberries
Whipped Cream
- 1 ¾ cup (415 ml) heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (65 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Raspberry Chardonnay Sauce: Combine 1 cup Chardonnay and ¼ cup sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a slow boil and cook until reduced to about ½ cup. Remove from heat, stir in raspberries, and set aside to cool completely.
- Make Whipped Cream: In a medium bowl or electric mixer bowl with a whisk attachment, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble Trifles: Gently press angel food cake pieces into the bottom of six trifle glasses or similar containers. Add a layer of whipped cream, followed by a layer of raspberry chardonnay sauce. Repeat by adding another layer of cake pieces, more raspberry sauce, and finish with a top layer of whipped cream.
- Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh raspberries on top. Serve immediately to avoid soggy layers.
Notes
- Start by cutting only half of the angel food cake; you may not need the entire cake for six trifles.
- The angel food cake, raspberry chardonnay sauce, and whipped cream can be prepared in advance, but assemble the trifles just before serving to keep the cake from becoming soggy.
- Whipped cream is best made no more than one day ahead for optimal texture.
- Mason jars or stemless wine glasses work well for serving these trifles.
