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: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of Chardonnay and ¼ cup sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a slow boil and cook until the liquid has reduced to about ½ cup. Remove from heat and stir in the raspberries. Set aside to cool completely.
- Make Whipped Cream: In a medium bowl or using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine 1 ¾ cup heavy whipping cream, ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble Trifles: In 6 trifle glasses or suitable containers, gently press angel food cake pieces into the bottom. Layer with whipped cream, then spoon raspberry sauce over the cream. Add another layer of angel food cake pieces, followed by more raspberry sauce, and finish with a final topping of whipped cream.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, top the trifles with fresh raspberries for extra color and flavor. Serve immediately to avoid sogginess.
Notes
- Start by cutting only half of your angel food cake and add more if needed to prevent waste; typically half the cake is sufficient.
- Raspberry chardonnay sauce and angel food cake can be prepared in advance.
- Whipped cream is best made fresh or no more than one day before serving to maintain its texture.
- Assemble trifles just before serving to keep the cake from becoming soggy.
