For the 4th of July BBQ we hosted I wanted to make a fun but simple dessert for everyone. I've had these push up pop containers that I've used from time to time and decided they'd be perfect and fun to make a mini version of a trifle dessert.

I like things to be easy and simple. This could not be more simple to make. Here's what you'll need:

- Berries (I choose blueberries & strawberries to go with a color theme for the 4th)

- Whipped Cream

- Angel food cake or pound cake

Cut your cake into small cubes, cube your strawberries as well. You'll want them small enough to fit in the container but big enough so you can see the color.

Assemble them by putting some cake at the bottom, berries, whipped cream, then repeat till the containers are full. You may need to push the cake down a bit to repeat the pattern.

What do you think? Aren't they so cute and festive!!!?

Buy the push up pop containers here. Also the book 'Push Up Pops' by Courtney Whitmore is a great cook book and source.
