What You Need

1-1/4

cups cold milk

pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Coconut Cream Flavor Instant Pudding

tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided

pkg. (10.75 oz.) frozen prepared pound cake, thawed, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

cups cut-up assorted fresh tropical fruit (papaya, pineapple and kiwi)

1/4

cup BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut, toasted

Make It

ADD milk to dry pudding mix in large bowl. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. Gently stir in 2 cups of the whipped topping.

PLACE half of the cake cubes in bottom of 2-1/2-qt. straight-sided serving bowl. Spoon half of the pudding mixture over cake cubes; top with half of the fruit. Repeat layers. Top with remaining 1 cup whipped topping and the coconut.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Enjoy a serving of this easy-to-make trifle on occasion, but keep portion size in mind. This recipe makes enough for 15 servings.

Substitute

Prepare as directed, using JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding.

How to Toast Coconut

Toasting coconut is easy. Just spread BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut evenly in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 7 to 10 min. or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Or, spread in microwaveable pie plate. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until lightly browned, stirring every minute. Watch carefully as coconut can easily burn!

Simply fantastic!!! Will make again and again for sure. The only thing I substituted was the papaya because I couldn't find any at my local stores, instead I used mango. Great change from our normal chocolate/peanut butter kind of desserts.

To me it was better the day after I made it. I covered leftovers in Saran Wrap and put in the fridge until the next day and it tasted so much better! I had to substitute French Vanilla JELLO Pudding mix for the Coconut because I couldn't find Coconut.

My husband and I do not eat sweets often but we enjoy tropical fruits such as papaya that are so..... popular in his native homeland. I just had to make it! It was excellent and I look forward in making it again. I'll keep it in my recipe books. Thank you, for sharing with me.
