Ingredients
8 cups pound cake, cut into cubes
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 boxes instant lemon pudding mix, 3.4 ounces each
3 cups cold milk
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3 cups blueberries
1 1/2 cups blueberry pie filling
3 cups whipped topping, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until completely smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mix and cold milk until it begins to thicken.
3. Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese along with the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, then beat until creamy and fully combined.
4. Fold 2 cups of the whipped topping into the lemon mixture until light and fluffy.
5. In another bowl, gently stir the blueberries with the blueberry pie filling.
6. Place a layer of pound cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle dish.
7. Spoon over part of the lemon cheesecake filling, then add part of the blueberry mixture.
8. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with the remaining whipped topping on top.
9. Garnish with extra blueberries and lemon zest if desired.
10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese for the smoothest filling with no lumps.
Chill the trifle for at least 4 hours so the layers can set and the flavors can blend.
For the prettiest layers, spoon the filling gently against the sides of the dish and use evenly sized cake cubes.
