Delicious Blueberry Lemon Trifle Recipe: A Refreshing Layered Dessert


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound fresh blueberries

1 tablespoon sugar

1 box (15 oz) lemon pound cake or sponge cake, cut into cubes

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

Prepare the blueberries: In a small bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Set aside to macerate for 10-15 minutes.

Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Make the lemon cream: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.

Assemble the trifle: In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, layer the cake cubes at the bottom. Top with a layer of the lemon cream mixture, followed by a layer of macerated blueberries. Repeat the layers, ending with the whipped cream on top.

Chill: Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld together.

Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for added freshness and color.
