2 quarts fresh blueberries, washed (I honestly don't think frozen and thawed would work...too squishy)
1 box low fat brownie mix (though you won't use it all)
2 large (12 oz) tubs of Cool Whip (I used cool whip free)
1 angel food cake, the round kind (I used store bought)
Find a trifle bowl or other glass container between 8-12 inches in diameter. I used a trifle bowl that doubles as a punch bowl and a cake plate if that helps you guess. I did put a glass in the middle of my trifle bowl to fill up some space, but in the end I wouldn't have needed too. Use your best guess. I also think a tall cylinder vase would be pretty to use!
Cut/tear angel food care into chunks about 1x1x1 inches or smaller. Fold 1/2 cup of brownie mix powder into each tub of cool whip (so 1 cup of brownie mix is used total). Place half the chunks of cake (for a two layer trifle, adjust as needed for more layers) on the bottom of the trifle bowl. Top this with a layer of blueberries 1-2 blueberries high. Spread 1 tub of brownie-fied cool whip on top of blueberries forming a relatively smooth and flat layer. Push the remaining angel food cake chunks into the cool whip layer. Top with another layer of blueberries. Spread the remaining browniefied cool whip on top of blueberries. Finally sprinkle a few blueberries on top (just to look cute). Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
This is soooo easy and sooo good! I used really fresh (as in we picked them the day before, thanks Owen!) blueberries which I think made this so yummy! May have to switch to later season berries in a few weeks. Enjoy and Happy 4th!
P.S. Get off the couch, get out of your pajamas, and go celebrate!
