Directions

Step 1

Cut the pound cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. This will be your whipped cream topping.

Rinse the blueberries and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 4

Grate the lemon zest and set it aside for layering.

Step 5

In a trifle dish or large clear bowl, begin assembling the layers. Start with an even layer of pound cake cubes at the bottom.

Step 6

Spoon a layer of vanilla custard over the cake cubes, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the blueberries over the custard layer and a pinch of lemon zest.

Step 8

Add a layer of whipped cream over the blueberries, spreading gently with a spatula.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process (cake, custard, blueberries, and whipped cream) until the dish is full or all ingredients are used, making sure to end with a whipped cream layer on top.

Step 10

Garnish the top with a handful of blueberries, a sprinkle of lemon zest, and a few mint leaves if desired.

Step 11

Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 12

Serve chilled and enjoy!
