  • 8 ounces (0.3 kg) (0.3 kg) of Neuchatel cheese, cream cheese, or Mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup of granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 3.4-ounce package of Vanilla-flavored Instant Jello pudding
  • 2 cups (0.47 l) of cold milk
  • 8 ounces (0.3 kg) of Cool Whip or freshly whipped cream
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions:

Preparing the Pudding:

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, pour 2 cups (0.47 l) of cold milk and add the instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk the mixture together for about 2 minutes until well combined. Set it aside for 5 minutes to set in the refrigerator.

Preparing the Cream Cheese Layer: 2. In a medium-large mixing bowl, combine the Neuchatel/cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and the lemon juice. Use a hand-held electric mixer to blend the ingredients until they are thoroughly combined. Set the mixture aside.

Assembling the Trifle: 3. Begin by arranging half of the angel food cake cubes on the bottom of the trifle container.

  1. Next, create an even layer with slightly less than one-third of the strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries. If you’re using a clear glass trifle container, consider alternating the arrangement of blackberries and red berries for an appealing pattern.
  2. Spread half of the Neuchatel/cream cheese mixture over the berries. Use an offset spatula or a baking spatula to distribute it evenly.
  3. Follow this with half of the vanilla pudding mixture, spreading it evenly over the layer.
  4. Repeat the layering process, so you end up with two layers each of angel food cake, berries, cream cheese, and vanilla pudding. There should be three layers of mixed berries.
  5. For the final layer of berries, create a “pillow” in the center using Cool Whip. You can use an offset spatula or a baking spatula for this. Garnish the “pillow” with the remaining berries and, optionally, mint sprigs.
  6. Serve the trifle in individual parfait glasses for an elegant presentation.
