Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 prepared angel food cake or pound cake about 12 oz, cut into cubes
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries plus extra for garnish
  • 1 cup blueberry pie filling optional, for extra richness
  • 2 cups cold heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for cream cheese mixture
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt for tanginess
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Prepare Whipped Cream:
  1. In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with ¼ cup powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Make Cream Layer:
  1. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup powdered sugar and sour cream (or yogurt), mixing until creamy. Fold in half of the whipped cream to lighten.
Layer the Trifle:
  1. In a large glass trifle bowl, start with half the cake cubes.
  2. Spread half the cream mixture over the cake.
  3. Add a layer of fresh blueberries and a drizzle of blueberry pie filling (if using).
  4. Repeat layers with remaining cake, cream, and blueberries.
Top It Off:
  1. Spread the remaining whipped cream on top. Garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves.
Chill & Serve:
  1. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap the cream cheese layer for vanilla pudding.
You can make individual trifles in mason jars for parties.
Mix in strawberries or raspberries for a patriotic red, white, and blue trifle.
Best enjoyed within 2 days — the cake softens as it sits.
