This is one of the easiest desserts you will ever make and it will get an “Oh Wow!” from your guests!! It is really simple and takes only a few minutes to throw together!

Here is what you need:

• Star Shaped Cookie Cutter
• Sara Lee Pound Cake
• Tub of Cool Whip
• Strawberries
• Bananas
• Crushed Oreo cookies (I used mini’s, but you can use full sized – keep a few uncrushed for decoration)
• Hot fudge

Here is what you do:

• Slice the Sara Lee Pound cake the width of your cookie cutter (mine was in half, but if you have a smaller cookie cutter you can probably cut it in thirds and then get more stars out of it!)
• Slice the sections of the pound cake into thinner slices (about 1/4 inch thick)
• Cut out stars and place them aside
• Use the leftover pieces of cake to line the bottom of the trifle bowl
• Cover the cake with a layer of Cool Whip
• Place the star cut outs along the side of the bowl
• Add a layer of strawberries and bananas, hot fudge and crushed cookies
• Add another layer of cake and repeat steps until at the top of the bowl.
• The last layer should be Cool Whip
• Decorate with a star, some crushed cookies and a few strawberries
