Scale
For the Lemon Cream Base:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups milk
- 2 (3.4-ounce) packages instant lemon pudding mix
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
For the Whipped Cream Layer:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 dash vanilla extract
For the Trifle Layers:
- 1 (9-inch) angel food cake, cubed
- 3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Lemon Cream Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 2 cups milk, lemon pudding mix, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until set.
- Make the Whipped Cream:
- In another bowl, beat the remaining 2 cups heavy whipping cream with confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Trifle:
- In a trifle bowl, layer half of the cubed angel food cake at the bottom.
- Top with half of the lemon cream, spreading it evenly.
- Add half of the strawberries and blueberries.
- Spread half of the whipped cream on top.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients: cake, lemon cream, berries, and whipped cream.
- Chill and Serve:
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish with fresh berries or mint leaves, if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor.
- For a healthier option, replace whipped cream with Greek yogurt or use reduced-sugar pudding mix.
- To avoid sogginess, assemble the trifle close to serving time if you plan to store it for more than 24 hours.
