Perfect for summer gatherings or any occasion, this layered trifle is both visually stunning and irresistibly delicious, blending fruity freshness with creamy sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz whipped topping (plus extra for garnish)

Lemon Pudding

  • 2 cups lemon pudding (prepared according to package instructions)

Filling and Cake

  • 1 can (21 oz) blueberry pie filling
  • 3 cups vanilla cake cubes or cookie crumbles (like Nilla Wafers)

Garnish (Optional)

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Beat Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy to create the base texture for the cheesecake layer.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and mix thoroughly until fully combined, forming a sweet and smooth mixture.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in half (4 oz) of the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture to lighten and aerate the cheesecake layer.
  4. Prepare Lemon Pudding: Prepare the lemon pudding according to package instructions and chill until it is slightly thickened to maintain structure in the trifle.
  5. Prepare Cake or Cookies: Cube the vanilla cake or crumble the cookies into bite-sized pieces to form the base layers and add texture to the trifle.
  6. Layer the Trifle: In a trifle bowl, start by layering the cake or cookie pieces, then spread a layer of the cheesecake mixture, followed by a layer of blueberry pie filling, and finish with a layer of lemon pudding.
  7. Repeat Layers: Continue layering these components in the same order until the bowl is full, ensuring an even distribution of flavors throughout the dessert.
  8. Top with Whipped Topping: Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the top layer for a smooth, fluffy finish.
  9. Garnish: Decorate the top of the trifle with fresh blueberries and lemon zest for added color, texture, and a burst of fresh citrus aroma.
  10. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set, creating the perfect chilling effect for serving.

Notes

  • Use a clear trifle bowl to showcase the beautiful layered presentation.
  • For a more tart flavor, add additional lemon zest to the lemon pudding layer.
  • The dessert can be prepared a day ahead to enhance flavor melding.
  • Substitute vanilla cake with gluten-free cookies or cake for dietary preferences.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake layer.
