This is a dessert that my Mother-In-Law taught me about many years ago. I have done so many variations. There is not a set "standard". This is one of those things that you can make it a different every time depending on what is in season or what mood you are in.
Fruit in a Bowl (Trifle)
2 banana's- sliced
1 pint of strawberries- sliced
1 container of blueberries
1 angel food cake
2 small packages of instant vanilla pudding- prepared
2 containers of Cool Whip- thawed
Cut angel food cake into thirds. Take one third and tear/cube into bit-size pieces. Take 1/3 of all the different fruits and sprinkle over the angel food cake. Take one container of Cool Whip and blend into the prepared pudding. Use 1/3 of the pudding/Cool Whip mix and spread over the cake and fruit. Repeat until all cake, pudding and fruit has been layered in. You may need to push down on the cake a little to get it all in the bowl. Once it is all layered, use the other container of Cool Whip as "icing". Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
You can substitute any fruit that you like. You can even use canned fruit if it is the dead of winter and there are no fresh fruits available as well as frozen. Hope you enjoy this as much as we do. This is a great dessert to take on picnic's, cookouts, or even covered dish events.
Oh, by the way, don't plan on bringing anything home. Your bowl will be CLEAN!!!!!!
