Summertime Treat – Mini Blackberry Trifle Recipe

One of my husbands favorite summer fruits is blackberries. Using just a few simple ingredients I created this summer treat – Mini Blackberry Trifles.

This blackberry trifle recipe is the perfect ending to a warm summer day in the sun. Creating individual dishes suits well for afternoon cookouts, summer weddings, and baby shower desserts.

Not a fan of blackberries? Simply switch out the fruit for something you prefer, like strawberries, raspberries, or a combination of your choosing.
