Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz whipped topping (divided, plus extra for garnish)

Other Layers

  • 2 cups lemon pudding (prepared according to package instructions)
  • 1 can (21 oz) blueberry pie filling
  • 3 cups vanilla cake cubes or cookie crumbles (such as Nilla Wafers)

Garnish (Optional)

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Beat Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky cheesecake layer.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar: Incorporate the powdered sugar into the cream cheese and mix thoroughly until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in half (4 oz) of the whipped topping to lighten the cheesecake mixture, creating a fluffy texture.
  4. Prepare Lemon Pudding: Make the lemon pudding according to the package instructions, then chill it until it is slightly thickened and ready for layering.
  5. Prepare Cake or Cookies: Cube the vanilla cake into bite-sized pieces or crumble your chosen cookies for the base layer.
  6. Layer Ingredients: In a trifle bowl, start by layering the cake or cookie base, followed by the cheesecake mixture, then the blueberry pie filling, and finally the lemon pudding.
  7. Repeat Layers: Continue layering the ingredients in the same order until the trifle dish is filled up.
  8. Top with Whipped Topping: Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the top layer to finish off the trifle beautifully.
  9. Garnish: Decorate the top with fresh blueberries and sprinkle lemon zest for added color, flavor, and freshness.
  10. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, prepare the lemon pudding ahead of time to allow it to set properly before layering.
  • If preferred, substitute vanilla cake cubes with your favorite cookie crumbles like graham crackers or shortbread.
  • Make sure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake layer.
  • Use fresh lemon zest and blueberries for garnish to enhance flavor and presentation.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
