Introduction

Blueberry Cheesecake Trifle Delight is a refreshing and indulgent dessert that combines creamy cheesecake mousse with vibrant blueberry filling and tender cake layers. It’s perfect for gatherings or a special treat that’s both elegant and easy to assemble.

The dessert is served in a clear glass bowl with a short stem, showing multiple layered textures and colors. The bottom layer is a deep purple blueberry sauce mixed with chunks of light yellow cake. Above that is a thick, white creamy layer, followed by another layer of dark purple blueberry chunks. On top, there is a thick layer of white whipped cream, decorated with a crumbly light brown topping and fresh whole blueberries piled in the center. The background and surface are a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)

3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
½ cup granulated sugar

2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp lemon juice
½ cup water

1 package ladyfingers, pound cake, or sponge cake (cubed)
1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
Whipped cream (extra for decorating)

Fresh blueberries (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 6–8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.

Step 3: In a large trifle bowl or clear glass dish, layer the dessert by starting with a layer of cubed cake at the bottom. Add a layer of the cheesecake mousse, then spoon a layer of the cooled blueberry filling on top. Repeat these layers until the bowl is filled, finishing with the blueberry layer.
Step 4: Decorate the top with swirls of whipped cream, a generous sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, and fresh blueberries for garnish. Chill the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh blueberries when in season for the best flavor, or frozen ones thawed and drained for convenience.

Substitute the ladyfingers with sponge cake or pound cake for different textures.
For added tartness, mix a little lemon zest into the cheesecake mousse.
Try layering in some toasted almonds or walnuts with the graham cracker crumbs for extra crunch.

Storage

Store the trifle covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best enjoyed chilled but allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to soften the cake slightly. The blueberry filling may release some juice over time; gently stir before serving if needed.
