Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and add lemon juice. Gently toss and let sit for 10 minutes to form juices.
- Slice the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes with a sharp serrated knife and place them in a large bowl.
- Zest both lemons directly into the softened cream cheese. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla and beat again.
- In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream at high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Stir one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until uniform and airy.
Assembly
- In a trifle dish, press one-third of the cake cubes into the bottom layer. Using a slotted spoon, spoon one-third of the macerated berries over the cake, letting juices drip back into the bowl. Spread one-third of the cream mixture over the berries.
- Repeat the layers: cake, berries, cream two more times for a total of nine layers.
Chill
- Cover the trifle tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

Notes
Serve with a long-handled spoon for easy scooping. Pairs well with warm baked dishes. Garnish with whole berries and lemon zest before serving.
