How To Make Trifle Dessert

Layer 1/2 crushed Nilla Wafers on the bottom of a trifle dish
Arrange strawberries around the bottom of the dish

Drizzle with 1/2 yogurt mix
Top with 1/2 Cool Whip.
Add another layer of strawberries around the outside of the serving dish.

: Place crushed Nilla Waffers into bottom of bowl.

: Drizzle flavored yogurt on top.

: Use a ziplock bag with the corner cut (turning it into a pastry bag) to easily place the Cool Whip.

This is a fun dessert to make in individual serving sized containers like these I just picked up on Amazon:

Clear plastic containers sold on amazon.

You could use any kind of clear cup otherwise.
