Lemon Blueberry Trifle

Lemon and blueberries are one of my favorite combinations of all time! But the marriage with blueberries is positively magical. Especially in the summer when those little berries are ripe and bursting with flavor!

The one-pan dessert is ideal for all occasions including potlucks, holidays, barbecues and birthdays. Several of these desserts do not require baking making them perfect for summer. See ALL my cookbooks here!

20 delicious one-pan dessert recipes plus tips for dessert success! ONLY $9.97!!

You will need:

• 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant lemon pudding mix (dry mix only, do not prepare according to box)
• 3 cups milk
• 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
• Angel food cake (2 loaves or 1 tube cake), cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 pints (3-4 cups) fresh blueberries
• Sliced lemon, for garnish (optional)

Helpful kitchen tools:

• Electric mixer
• Rubber spatula
• Trifle dessert dish
• Measuring cups and spoons

Helpful Tips

• Make sure milk is at room temperature so that the cream cheese doesn’t seize up.
• I use store-bought angel food cake for the cake layer, but buttery pound cake would be equally delicious.
• You could also make a homemade angel food cake!

How to Make Lemon Blueberry Trifle

1. Beat the cream cheese and the dry pudding mix together until smooth.
2. Slowly add the room temp milk until smooth.

1. Fold in 2 cups of the whipped topping.
2. In a trifle bowl, layer 1/3 of the cake, 1/3 of the pudding and 1/3 of the blueberries.

1. Repeat layers two more times.
2. Garnish with reserved whipped topping, blueberries, and lemons.
3. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
   

I am totally obsessed with my trifle bowl! I wanted one for a long time, so I finally made the purchase. They instantly add “class” to any dish you are serving and with all the summer entertaining coming up, I thought it was a great investment.

Plus, they’re not just for a trifle! I took my favorite creamy Spaghetti Salad with Italian Dressing to a potluck in this bowl and it really stood out among the crowd. If you don’t have a trifle bowl, any 3-quart bowl will work, preferably glass to see the layers.
