Ingredients
Scale
- 10 oz (280g) pound cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz (225g) whipped topping (store-bought or freshly whipped cream)
- 2 cups (300g) blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture (5 minutes): In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes with an electric mixer). Fold in the whipped topping gently with a spatula until fully combined and fluffy. Set aside.
- Cut the Pound Cake (3 minutes): Slice the pound cake into roughly 1-inch cubes.
- Layer the Trifle (7 minutes): Add a layer of pound cake cubes at the bottom of your trifle bowl (about 1/3 of the cake). Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake. Sprinkle half of the blueberries on top. Repeat the layers one more time: pound cake, cream cheese mixture, and blueberries. Finish with a final layer of pound cake and a thin spread of cream cheese mixture on top, garnished with a few blueberries.
- Chill (At least 2 hours): Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to let flavors meld and cake soak up the creamy layers.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing. Do not overmix after adding whipped topping to keep fluffiness. Use frozen blueberries without thawing fully to avoid soggy layers. Dense, buttery pound cake works best. Assemble up to 24 hours ahead for best flavor. Avoid freezing the trifle as whipped topping can separate.
