Servings: 8 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 1 pint heavy whipped cream
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup lemon curd
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 14 ounces prepared angel food cake , sliced or cut into cubes
  • 1 pint raspberries
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • 1 pint blackberries
  • 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced

Instructions

  • Add the whipped cream to the base of a food processor and whip until soft peaks form, about 6-8 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, add the lemon curd along with ¼ cup of the whipped cream and vanilla extract to help loosen the curd, then fold into the bowl of whipped cream.
  • Assemble! Spoon a layer of the cream in a large glass bowl or trifle bowl. Add a layer of cake cubes, pressing them into the cream. Add a layer of fruit; you can combine all of the fruit together in a large bowl first, or to save washing another bowl, just layer the fruit in a layer on the cake.
  • Continue with another layer of the cream, the cake, and fruit, and continue for another layer, depending on the size of your bowl, finishing with a layer of cream and garnishing with any remaining fruit.
  • Cover and let refigerate for at least 2 hours, then serve.

Notes

If you don't have fresh berries or want to make this in the fall or winter, then you can use frozen berries instead! If you want to use frozen berries instead of the fresh, you'll need:
  • 16 oz (about 3 cups) frozen mixed berries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste based on sweetness of berries and preference)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen mixed berries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering berry mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your liking.
