This Berries and Cream Dessert recipe looks fancy, but it couldn’t be easier to make! Fluffy cream, fresh berries, and soft cake come together in a quick no-bake dessert that’s perfect for summer gatherings, holidays, or anytime you need an easy treat.

Ingredients

1 loaf (10 oz.) pound cake or angel food cake, cut into cubes
2 (3 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
2 cups marshmallow creme (about 1 large jar)
4 cups fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or a combination)

Instructions

  1. Divide the cake cubes evenly among 8 dessert dishes, parfait glasses, or small bowls.
  2. Top each serving with fresh berries.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold in the marshmallow creme until well combined and fluffy.
  5. Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture over the berries.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use any combination of berries you have on hand, or substitute sliced peaches, mandarin oranges, or other fresh fruit.
  • For a pretty presentation, reserve a few berries to sprinkle on top just before serving.
  • Angel food cake makes a lighter dessert, while pound cake creates a richer, more decadent treat.
  • This recipe can easily be halved for fewer people.

Tip: For an easy party dessert, layer the ingredients in a large glass bowl or trifle dish instead of individual servings.
