Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer
  • trifle dish
  • whisk attachment
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients
  

Cake and Filling

  • 8 cups lemon loaf/lemon pound cake, cubed baked and cooled
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon limoncello or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 0.5 cups lemon curd homemade or store-bought
  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 5 cups fresh blueberries plus more for garnish
  • 0.5 cups blueberry preserves/blueberry jam
  • 1 cup lemon curd homemade or store-bought
  • 3 tablespoons limoncello for brushing over cake
  • berries
  • lemon slices
  • powdered sugar
  • lemon zest
  • fresh basil or mint leaves

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, limoncello, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and clump-free.
  • Mix in ½ cup of lemon curd and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Fold in half of the whipped cream (about 2 cups) until incorporated and set aside. Keep covered and chilled in the refrigerator if not assembling right away.

Assembly

  • Start with a base layer of lemon pound cake cubes at the bottom of your trifle dish. Brush with a little limoncello and dollop with lemon curd and blueberry preserves.
  • Top with an even layer of fresh berries, then ⅓ of the lemon cheesecake mixture. Repeat.
  • Finally, spread or pipe the remaining whipped cream on top of the trifle.
  • Garnish with more berries, lemon slices, and fresh basil or mint leaves.

Notes

Chill the trifle overnight for best flavor and texture.
