Ingredients
Servings:
12 people
For the Trifle:
- 17 oz angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 lb blueberries
Lemon Syrup Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1/2 medium lemon)
Frosting Ingredients:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
You Will Need:
- 4 or 5 quart trifle dish
(You can also use a 9×13 casserole dish.)
Instructions
1. Make the Lemon Syrup
In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine the water, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well until the sugar completely dissolves. Set aside for later.
2. Prepare the Cream Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream while mixing. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and thick. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Start Layering the Trifle
Place one-third of the angel food cake cubes into the bottom of your trifle dish. Brush or drizzle one-third of the lemon syrup evenly over the cake pieces.
4. Add the Cream and Fruit
Spread one-third of the cream mixture gently over the cake layer. Top with half of the sliced strawberries.
5. Repeat the Layers
Add another layer of cake cubes, drizzle with lemon syrup, and spread another layer of cream. Add half of the blueberries over this layer.
6. Finish and Decorate
Add the remaining cake cubes and syrup, then spread the final layer of cream over the top. Decorate with the remaining strawberries and blueberries for a beautiful finish.
7. Chill Before Serving
Cover and refrigerate the trifle for at least 2–4 hours before serving so the flavors blend together and the dessert becomes perfectly chilled.
Conclusion
This No-Bake Strawberry Blueberry Trifle is a fresh, creamy, and crowd-pleasing dessert that’s perfect for any celebration. The layers of soft angel food cake, fluffy cheesecake cream, and juicy berries create a beautiful dessert that tastes just as amazing as it looks.
