This Raspberry Peach Tea Trifle made with Milo’s award-winning tea is the perfect dessert to pack in a picnic. Thanks to Milo’s Tea Company for sponsoring this post. All opinions are mine alone.
When I think of the ideal beverage for summer I think of iced tea. My Mom always had a gallon-jug of it ready in the refrigerator when I was growing up. These days I prefer my iced tea unsweetened or with a little fresh fruit or mint floating in it. I’ve made cocktails with tea before. And now I’m incorporating it into this perfectly packable dessert. My kids were my taste-testers for this Raspberry Peach Tea Trifle and they absolutely loved it.
How to make a trifle:
A trifle is just a layered dessert, usually with some sort of cake, flavored cream and fruit. In this case I borrowed inspiration from a classic tiramisu and soaked lady fingers in the Milo’s Famous Unsweet Tea before layering it into the dessert. It gives the dessert an extra punch of tea flavor. My whipping cream is flavored with tea also, plus peach jam and powdered sugar for sweetness. Plus, some cream cheese for a little tang and to give the cream body so it doesn’t melt. I made this trifle in individual jars for easy packing but it could be layered into one large glass bowl as well.
Can this trifle be made the day before:
Yes. This dessert will hold up well to being refrigerated overnight. Meaning it’s a great option for entertaining. The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled depending on the size of your crowd. Be sure and buy another jug of Milo’s tea so your guests can enjoy a tall glass of iced tea with their Raspberry Peach Tea Trifle.

- 6 oz fresh raspberries
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 6 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup Milo's Unsweet Tea divided
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup peach jam
Instructions
