Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for this delicious peach icebox dessert:
- 8 cups of fresh peach slices (about 2 pounds of peaches), plus a little extra for serving
- ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

Directions
Here’s how to put this peach trifle together:
- In a large bowl, gently mix the peach slices, brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon until everything is well combined. Let it sit for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the peaches release their juices.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer (use the whisk attachment) on medium-high speed. Beat until stiff peaks form, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Start layering in a 14-cup trifle dish: add 2 cups of cake pieces at the bottom, then spoon about 1 cup of the peach mixture (with its juices) on top, followed by 2 cups of whipped cream. Repeat these layers two more times, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
- Chill in the fridge for about 4 hours. Before serving, add a few extra peach slices on top for a fresh, pretty finish.
Easy, delicious, and perfect for sharing!
Chef’s Notes
Lacking a trifle dish? Make use of a big glass bowl. Simply reposition the layers as needed because the bottom will be bent.
