This show-stopping lemon berry trifle recipe includes lemon pound cake, fresh berries, a lemon cheesecake filling, and fresh whipped cream. Use store-bought cake if youโre short on time!
Trifles are an ideal party dessert, especially in the spring and summer. Served in a lovely glass bowl or trifle dish, the presentation is equally impressive and beautiful. You can prepare trifles in advance and even though I recommend homemade cake for those layers, you can definitely get away with store-bought. Especially when you take the time to make homemade whipped cream and homemade lemon curd!
Trifles are as show-stopping as tall layer cakes, but worlds easier to assemble. Thereโs always an exciting new layer to discover and unlike Rachelโs trifle, each layer is pretty pleasant!!!
Layers of amazing flavors! This Lemon Berry Trifle will make your day cool, literally! It is a very refreshing treat to eat on a sunny day. If you are having guests today, it is not too late to try this recipe. I am sure that once they get a bite of this fruity dessert, they would want to eat the whole thing so make sure to make enough to satisfy their craving! By the way, I only use fresh ingredients for quality purposes. It would taste a lot better if you use fresh ones.
