Summer berry trifle is one of my favorite desserts. It is beautiful, scrumptious, and lovely. I am so happy that I made it for the party and everyone loved it. The key ingredients are my homemade Orange Yogurt Pound Cake, cream cheese filling, vanilla pudding , and fresh berries. This gorgeous trifle is a big impression no matter what the season or special occasion.

Ingredients 

1 homemade orange yogurt pound cake

12 oz fresh raspberries for garnish

12 oz fresh blueberries

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled, cut into slices

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

3.4 ounce vanilla instance pudding mix

2 cups 2% milk

To make a cream cheese filling

8 oz cream cheese

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1/3 cup condensed milk

1/8 cup confectioners sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

fresh mint spring for garnish

Instructions 

  1. Add fresh berries and sugar in a mixing bowl and toss to coast. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, stir in milk, egg, and vanilla instance pudding mix. Heat the mixture to a full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the stove.
