This red, white, and blue trifle has a secret and it is two pudding mixes stirred together with a spoonful of sour cream. That combination gives you a filling that is creamy, a little tangy, and tastes so much better than anything that came out of a box. Add fresh sweet strawberries, juicy blueberries, and soft angel food cake and you have a dessert that is cool, fresh, and absolutely delicious without turning on your oven once.

Instructions
In a stand mixer with paddle attachment or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, add both pudding mixes along with the whole milk and mix until well combined and a pudding like texture. Fold in the sour cream. Chill until set.
In a trifle bowl (about 3.25 quarts), create a single layer of 1-inch cake cubes at the bottom.
Spoon half of the pudding mixture over the cake layer.
Layer sliced strawberries along the outside edges of the bowl for decoration, then add a single layer of sliced strawberries over the pudding.
Next add a layer of blueberries over the strawberries.
Spread 1 of the containers of thawed whipped topping over the berries.
Repeat layers: cake cubes, remaining pudding, strawberries and blueberries.
Finish with the remaining container of thawed whipped topping on top.
Decorate the top with remaining sliced strawberries and blueberries.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
