Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound cake, store-bought or homemade, cut into cubes
- 1 cup lemon curd
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional garnish: lemon zest and mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add heavy whipping cream, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- Cube the pound cake: Cut the pound cake into 1-inch cubes for easy layering.
- Layer the trifle: Start with a layer of pound cake cubes at the bottom of your trifle bowl. Spoon a generous layer of lemon curd over the cake.
- Add the cheesecake layer: Spread a creamy layer of the cheesecake filling over the lemon curd. Smooth it out with a spatula.
- Add blueberries: Scatter fresh blueberries evenly over the cheesecake layer.
- Repeat the layers: Continue layering pound cake, lemon curd, cheesecake filling, and blueberries until the bowl is full. Finish with a layer of cheesecake filling on top.
- Garnish: Sprinkle lemon zest and a few mint leaves for a fresh, vibrant finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Notes
[‘Make sure the cheesecake filling is whipped just enough for soft peaks—it should hold its shape but still be easy to spread.’, ‘If your lemon curd is too thick, you can gently warm it for easier layering.’, ‘Refrigeration is key to letting the flavors meld together.’]
