Red, White & Blue Mini-Trifle

My Dad-in-Law loves simple, fresh desserts & since it was just us (my hubby, our toddler) & Pop for Father's Day, I went with this easy fruit trifle. Fresh blueberries, strawberries, pound cake pieces & real whipped cream. Happy dad's day indeed! <3 Lishie

Beat the cream on high, slowly adding the vanilla, then sugar & continue to beat until thick & fluffy; set aside.
