• Beat the remaining 2/3 cup sugar and the cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and light. Add the cream and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and the consistency of whipped cream.
• Arrange half of the cake cubes in the bottom of a 13-cup trifle dish. Sprinkle evenly with a layer of blueberries. Dollop half of the cream mixture over the blueberries and gently spread. Top with a layer of strawberries. Layer the remaining cake cubes on top of the strawberries, then sprinkle with more blueberries and top with the remaining cream mixture. Finish with the remaining strawberries and blueberries, arranging them in a decorative pattern. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.

VERY BERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• HEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 8-inch round baking pans with no-stick cooking spray. Mix cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg whites in a large bowl on low speed for 1 minute; beat on medium speed 2 minutes more, scraping bowl occasionally (or beat 2 minutes by hand, using a wire whisk.) Pour into prepared pans.
• BAKE 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Run knife around inside of pan before removing. Cool completely in wire rack.
• MAKE pudding according to package directions. Cut cooled cakes horizontally in half. Spread each lower half with half of the preserves; replace top. Cut filled cakes into bite-sized pieces; place pieces from one cake randomly into bottom of 14-cup trifle or glass bowl.
• SPRINKLE with half of macaroons. Spread half of pudding over macaroons. Top with half of berries and whipped topping. Repeat layers with remaining cake, macaroons, pudding and whipped topping; garnish with remaining berries and almonds, if desired.

OUTRAGEOUS LEMON BERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• Stir 2 cups whipping cream, milk, lemon pudding mixes, and lemon juice in a large bowl until creamy and smooth. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
• Beat remaining 2 cups whipping cream in a bowl until foamy. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the whipped cream will form sharp peaks.
• Layer half the angel food cake in a trifle bowl. Top with half the lemon pudding mixture, half the strawberries and half the blueberries. Spread half the whipped cream over the berries. Repeat the layers. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

LEMON CURD TRIFLE WITH FRESH BERRIES

Steps:

• To make the lemon curd: Bring a pot of water to a simmer over medium-low heat. Combine the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a metal or glass heat-resistant bowl and whisk until smooth. Set the bowl over the simmering water, without letting the bottom touch, and continue to whisk. Keep working-out that arm and whisk it vigorously for a good 10 minutes, until the curd has doubled in volume and is very thick and yellow. Don't let it boil. Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the butter, a couple of chunks at a time, until melted. Refrigerate until the custard is cold and firm.
• To build the trifle: put the berries in a mixing bowl and toss them together so they are evenly distributed. Fold the whipped cream into the chilled lemon curd to lighten it up into a mousse. Line a glass trifle bowl with pieces of pound cake to fit. Drizzle or brush the cake with the Limoncello, spoon a layer of the lemon curd over the cake, and then a layer of mixed berries. Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used up, the last layer looks best if it's the berries. Chill before serving. Garnish with fresh mint.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE AND BERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• Add the berries to a bowl along with the sugar and orange juice. Let sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, until juicy.
• Meanwhile, add the yogurt and honey to a bowl. Stir with a spoon to mix in the honey and smooth out so the mixture will be more spreadable.
• Cut the angel food cake into large chunks using a serrated knife, and add about one-third of the cake to the bottom of a medium trifle dish. Add a layer of the syrupy berries and then a layer of yogurt, reserving a few spoonfuls of yogurt for the end. Repeat the layers until you have no more remaining ingredients. Finish the top with the few spoonfuls of yogurt in the center and the fresh, whole strawberries.
• Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

BERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• In a trifle bowl, break up enough graham crackers to cover the bottom.
• Add 1/3 cup of lemon curd, spread on crackers. Arrange berries along sides and in center. Add 1 cup of whipped cream and spread until smooth.
• Repeat 2 more times, ending on a smooth layer of whipped cream. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for several hours, or even overnight. Watch the video at MomsHeart.net .

BERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• Cube angel food cake with a serrated knife. It's easier if you handle the knife lightly so you don't crush the cake.
• Cream together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and almond flavoring.
• Add the sour cream to the cream cheese mixture and blend thoroughly.
• In a separate bowl add 4 tablespoons powdered sugar to the whipping cream. Whip until soft peaks form. This step works best if you chill the whisk and metal bowl ahead of time.
• Mix the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until thoroughly combined.
• Clean and rough chop the fruit as is necessary. Mix it with 3 tablespoons powdered sugar or to taste.
• Layer angel food cake with cream cheese "fluff" and berries or fruit.

TRI-BERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• In a stand mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form, then set aside. In a large bowl, beat the creme fraiche, milk and pudding mix until thickened. Fold in the whipped cream and set aside.
• Place half of the cubed pound cake in the bottom of the trifle dish. Arrange a third of the strawberries, blackberries and blueberries over the cake. Top with half of the pudding mixture. Repeat with the remaining pound cake, another third of berries and the remaining pudding. Top the final layer of pudding with the remaining berries. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Just before serving, garnish with lemon zest and a sprig of mint.

LEMON BERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• Slice the lemon pound cake into 9 1-inch slices. Cut into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
• In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together on high speed into stiff peaks, about 3 minutes. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use in step 3.
• In a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed until creamy. Add the vanilla extract and lemon curd and beat on medium-high speed until combined. Lastly, beat in half of whipped cream (about 2 cups) that you prepared in step 2. Cover and store the remaining whipped cream in the refrigerator until used in step 5.
• This trifle has 3 layers of pound cake, 3 layers of berries, and 2 layers of the lemon cheesecake mixture. Begin with a base of lemon pound cake cubes. Top with an even layer of fresh berries, then half of the lemon cheesecake mixture. Repeat. Finish with final layer of lemon pound cake cubes followed by a final layer of berries. Spread or pipe remaining whipped cream on top of the trifle. I used Wilton 1M piping tip to pipe the whipped cream on top. (Whisk the whipped cream to reincorporate any liquid if needed.)
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours (see make ahead tip if you wish to store longer). You can refrigerate uncovered for 2-4 hours, but I recommend loosely covering if storing longer than that. The time in the refrigerator gives the flavors a chance to settle and allows the pound cake to soak up some of the lemon cheesecake mixture.
• Garnish with extra berries and/or lemon slices and serve cold. Cover and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

BERRY CHEESECAKE TRIFLE

Steps:

• Whisk pudding mix and milk in a bowl for 2 minutes; let stand until thick, about 3 more minutes.
• Layer half the cake cubes into a trifle bowl or glass serving dish. Top cake cubes with half the pudding, half the blueberries, and half the whipped topping. Repeat layers; cover and refrigerate 4 hours before serving.

BERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• Place the berries into a large bowl and sprinkle with half of the lemon juice. Lightly toss.
• Combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch and remaining lemon juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook just until the berries begin to break down and give up their juices, about 3 minutes. Take the berries off the heat and let cool; the mixture should thicken up as is cools.
• In a clean bowl, whip the cream with the sugar and the vanilla to soft peaks. Put the lemon curd into a second bowl and stir in a little of the whipped cream to loosen it. Then fold in the rest of the cream.
• To assemble the trifle, spoon a layer of the lemon cream into a large glass bowl. Add a layer of pound cake, breaking the slices into pieces that fit. Then soak the cake with a layer of berries and their juices. Keep going to make 3 or 4 more layers, depending on the size of the bowl, finishing with a layer of lemon cream. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
