A quick and easy summer dessert featuring layers of fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pound cake, and a creamy vanilla Greek yogurt and whipped cream mixture, perfect for casual get-togethers and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Fresh blueberries, washed and dried
  • Fresh raspberries (optional)
  • Pound cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries gently and pat dry. Hull and slice the strawberries into bite-sized pieces. Set aside separately.
  2. Cut the pound cake into roughly 1-inch cubes, keeping them uniform for even layering.
  3. In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold in 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Add lemon zest if desired.
  4. Assemble the trifle cups by layering about 1/3 cup pound cake cubes at the bottom, followed by 2 tablespoons of the cream mixture, then 3 tablespoons of mixed berries. Repeat the layers once more and finish with a few berries on top.
  5. Refrigerate assembled cups for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and cake soften slightly.

Notes

Assemble the cups the same day you plan to serve them to avoid soggy cake. Toast pound cake cubes lightly if they are stale for better texture. Use stabilized whipped cream if preparing hours ahead. Fresh berries are preferred over frozen for best texture and flavor. For dairy-free, substitute coconut whipped cream and dairy-free yogurt.
