Preparation
- Begin by baking your lemon pound cake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). If you’re using store-bought, simply slice it into cubes after it cools completely. Aim for one-inch cubes for ideal layering. Set them aside while you whip up the other components of your lemon blueberry trifle.
- Prepare your homemade lemon curd on the stove by whisking together lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and butter over medium heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Once ready, transfer it to a bowl and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, limoncello, and lemon zest. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Gently fold in the cooled lemon curd, then whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form and incorporate it into the mixture.
- In a trifle dish or individual glasses, begin layering the components. Start with cake cubes, followed by a brush of limoncello, blueberry preserves, lemon curd, fresh blueberries, and creamy filling. Repeat layers until you run out of ingredients or reach the top of your dish.
- Top with fresh blueberries, dollops of lemon curd, mint leaves, and lemon slices. Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
