A delightful layered dessert combining creamy cheesecake, fresh berries, and soft cake for a perfect treat.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and blend until well combined.
Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Fold gently to maintain the light and airy texture.
In another bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Let the berries sit for a few minutes to release their juices.
Cut the pound cake into small cubes.
Use a serrated knife for cleaner cuts.
Layer the ingredients in a large glass bowl, starting with a layer of berries, followed by a layer of cheesecake filling, and then a layer of cake cubes. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of berries.
Use a clear bowl to showcase the beautiful layers.
Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more delicious dessert.
Serve the trifle chilled, garnished with additional fresh berries if desired.
Add a sprig of mint for a fresh and decorative touch.
