Print Recipe

A quick and easy layered dessert combining tart lemon curd, juicy fresh blueberries, fluffy whipped cream, and soft pound cake for a refreshing and elegant treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup lemon curd (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces pound cake or sponge cake, cubed
  • Optional garnish: lemon zest, fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the whipped cream: In a chilled large bowl, pour 1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream. Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes). Be careful not to overwhip or it will turn into butter. Set aside.
  2. Cube the cake: Cut 8 ounces of pound cake or sponge cake into roughly 1-inch cubes.
  3. Layer the trifle: Start by placing a layer of cake cubes at the bottom of your trifle bowl (about 1/3 of the cake). Spoon a generous 1/3 cup of lemon curd evenly over the cake. Next, sprinkle 2/3 cup of fresh blueberries over the curd. Then, dollop about 1/3 of the whipped cream and spread gently with a spatula.
  4. Repeat layers: Repeat the cake, lemon curd, blueberries, and whipped cream layers two more times, finishing with whipped cream on top.
  5. Chill and garnish: Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight if possible). Just before serving, garnish with lemon zest and fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best volume. Use serrated knife to cut cake gently. If lemon curd is too thick, warm slightly to spread easily. Avoid overwhipping cream to prevent turning into butter. Use fresh blueberries for best texture; thaw and drain frozen berries well. Chill trifle at least 2 hours for best flavor and texture. Optional to fold lemon zest into whipped cream for extra zing.
