NO BAKE BERRIES AND CREAM CAKE — This decadent dessert starts with a store bought pound cake. Add a faux pastry cream topping, some whipped cream and fresh berries, and you have an easy but elegant summer time dessert.

If you’re looking for a beautiful, delicious dessert to serve for summer holidays and special occasions, look no further than this No-Bake Berries and Cream Cake.

This cake is so easy to make! You don’t even have to turn on the oven. To start, you just thaw a frozen pound cake (like Sara Lee), then slice it and layer it in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan.

If you have a bit of extra pound cake, go ahead and eat it! It’s delicious!

And if you’d rather start from scratch, just bake up my Copycat Sara Lee Pound Cake recipe. But why turn on the oven when it’s hot outside?

To make the creamy filling, just beat together cream cheese and vanilla pudding, then fold in some frozen whipped topping. Or make your own whipped cream from scratch.

I’m going to make sure I have some frozen pound cake and frozen whipped topping in my freezer when Memorial Day and Independence Day roll around, so I can whip up this delicious dessert.

To finish off your cake, you’ll need about 4 cups of fresh berries–sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are all great choices.

I like to add the berries just before serving, since they tend to release some natural juices that can make the filling runny.

If you know you’ll be finishing off the cake in one sitting, go ahead and cover the whole cake with berries. If you’re expecting leftovers, add the berries to individual servings. You can even add an extra dollop of whipped cream on top, if you like!

However you top off this No-Bake Berries and Cream Cake, it’s sure to become an easy summer favorite.
