I took this to a potluck dinner for 14 people. I got compliments all evening on it. It was the perfect end to a great meal. I used pound cake instead of angel food cake. And I used cheese cake flavored pudding mix. I added the crushed pineapple to the whipped mixture. I will definitely make this again.

I didn't line the bowl with the strawberries and kiwi - I chopped them both in decent sized chunks and made them a layer....I used pound cake instead of angel food as I prefer how much more "stable" it is in a trifle. So I layered cake, banana and pineapple, then whipped mixture then strawberry kiwi mixture then repeated it again. This is so good and all the fruit is a real treat! Served it for 16 dinner guests and they all raved about it!
