What Is a Lemon Blueberry Trifle?

A lemon blueberry trifle is a layered, no-bake dessert that stacks cubes of pound cake (or angel-food cake), silky lemon pudding or curd, sweet blueberries, and clouds of whipped cream in a clear glass bowl. The see-through sides showcase every layer, so you get bright citrus, juicy berries, and tender cake in each spoonful. Think of it as a fuss-free alternative to pie, ready in minutes, yet elegant enough for summer parties, Easter brunch, or any night you need a sunshine-flavored treat.

How to Make Lemon Blueberry Trifle

1. To make the pudding base, beat the softened, room temperature cream cheese with the lemon pudding and lemon zest, using a hand-held or stand mixer, until smooth and well combined.
2. With the whisk attachment, slowly add in the room temperature milk until well combined.
3. Using a rubber spatula, fold in 1 ¾ cups of the whipped topping.
4. Layer the trifle: place ⅓ of the diced angel food cake in the bottom of a 3-quart trifle bowl, followed by ⅓ of the pudding mixture, and ⅓ of the fresh blueberries. Repeat the layers twice more.
5. Top the trifle with the remaining whipped topping and decorate with lemon slices. Chill for at least one hour.

How Can I Make Sure My Pudding Mix is Smooth?

It is really important that the cream cheese and the milk are room temperature and the cream cheese is softened. Beat the cream cheese by itself for a couple of minutes before adding the pudding mix, and change the paddle attachment for the whisk when mixing in the milk. This will help make a smooth pudding base.

Can I Make Lemon Blueberry Trifles Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can. The angel food cake will not get too soggy because the pudding mixture is thick and the cake dices are large too. Just make sure to cover the trifle loosely with plastic wrap before placing it in the refrigerator a few hours in advance or the night before.
