Rote Grütze Trifle Recipe.

 I combined two of my favorite desserts: German Rote Grütze and a British Trifle (non-alcoholic) to make this delicious Rote Grütze Trifle.

German Rote Grutze Trifle Recipe

One of the staple desserts in northern Germany is Rote Grütze.

It is a pudding traditionally made with red-fruit (strawberries, raspberries, red currants, and/or cherries). It is often served with a sweet vanilla whipped cream topping or ice cream.

Yummy Rote Grutze Trifle Recipe

I had extra homemade angel food cake and wanted to make a trifle with it.

I was debating what kind of trifle I should make with my angel food cake.

I was thinking of making my mom’s strawberry and bananas trifle (I’ll likely share it with you one day), but, the thought struck me that Rote Grütze would taste amazing turned into a trifle and it is!

This combination of red berry pudding, angel food cake and vanilla whipped cream turned out to be absolutely delicious.

I gave the whole trifle to my parents and asked them to share it with friends or family. 

To my surprise, they were able to share it with multiple friends and neighbors. My mom said that everybody who had it LOVED it. She said it was absolutely delicious! 

I did make my family a little bowl to eat ourselves and I agreed with my mom…it turned out fantastic.

I hope you’ll give it a try as well!

Continue reading and/or watch the video on this page.

  1. Make the Rote Grütze and Angel Food Cake. Allow them to cool completely (at least 2 hours).
  2. Make the sweet vanilla whipping cream.
  3. Cut up the angel food cake into small pieces.
  4. Layer the bottom of a trifle dish or large glass bowl with 2 layers of cake. Tip- Turn the cake so that the white part faces out so the trifle looks more uniform in color and appetizing.
  5. Pour 1/3 of the Rote Grütze pudding onto the cake pieces. Note- In the video I doubled the recipe to make sure I would have enough. I did not need to double it, so I won’t do that next time.

  7. Repeat steps 4-6 layering the 3 ingredients again.
  8. Repeat steps 4-5 layering 2 of the 3 ingredients again.
