Wash and dry the berries thoroughly.
If desired, sprinkle sugar over the sliced strawberries and raspberries, and let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
In a medium bowl, mix the whipped cream with vanilla extract if using.
In serving glasses or a trifle dish, layer the berries and whipped cream starting with strawberries, then whipped cream, then blueberries, and repeat as needed.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a few whole berries for garnish.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

You can use homemade whipped cream or store-bought whipped topping.
Layering in clear glasses shows off the red, white, and blue colors beautifully.
This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but can be prepared a few hours in advance.
