Ingredients
– 1 (13 to 16 oz) store-bought angel food cake
– 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
– 3 tablespoons honey
– 1 3/4 cups heavy cream, well chilled
– 12 oz cream cheese, slightly softened
– 1 1/4 cups (160g) powdered sugar
– 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 16 oz fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
– 18 oz fresh blueberries
– 6 oz fresh raspberries (optional)
– Mint leaves for decoration (optional)
Instructions
1-First Steps: Preparation: Begin by slicing the angel food cake into 3/4-inch thick slices and cubing them. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey until blended, then brush this mixture on the cake cubes for extra flavor.
2-Whipping and Mixing: Next, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks using an electric mixer. In another bowl, blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, then fold in the whipped cream for a smooth mixture.
3-Layering in the Dish: In a large trifle dish, add half the cubed cake as the first layer. Sprinkle half the blueberries over it, followed by half the whipped cream mixture and half the sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers, finishing with berries in the center and mint for garnish.
