4th of July Trifle Dessert great for Summer gatherings | dessert, trifle, summer | 4th of July Trifle Dessert great for Summer gatherings | By Robyn Q | I'm adding three fourths of sugar to two 8 ounce blocks of cream cheese. Beat that up. And I've got my cream cheese at room temperature. I'm add about a half a teaspoon of vanilla and then two cups of heavy whipping cream. Okay, we're going to heat that so it comes together. Now, take two to 3 minutes. Alright, this looks great. Nice and creamy. This is exactly what you want. Perfect. Alright. The next thing we're going to make is a lemon syrup. So, I have a fourth of a cup of water and just a couple tablespoons of sugar. I'm going to juice one lemon in it and we're going to whisk that together that smells really good. I love the smell of lemon. Okay. We're just going to whisk that together till the sugar is dissolved. And then we've got our lemon syrup done. Okay we have our pound cake diced. I'm just going to kind of divide that in three. One third of my diced pound cake to the bottom and then I'm going to add about a third of my lemon syrup to the top. Then a third of our cream mixture on top of that. Maybe one more scoopful. Alright so I'm going to add a half a pound of strawberries right on top of that. Obviously I've washed them and quartered them. Good. Back to our pound cake. Another third on top of that. And then I'm going to add again some of that nice lemon syrup on top of that. And then back to our cream mixture. Another third. A little bit more. This time we're going to add blueberries. Half a pound of them which have been washed. So I'm going to sprinkle them in. Oh those look like great blueberries. Alright. Now our last bit of our pound cake goes on top of that. And our last bit of our lemon syrup goes on top of that and the last of our cream mixture goes on top of that. Okay, almost done with this. Super fast. Super fun for the 4th of July. And it'll be delicious for sure. Alright, so the first thing we're going to do is outline our star. Some blueberries. Then we'll fill that in. And if you don't like blueberries, you can use blackberries, whatever you like. How fun is this? You can do this as a family. It's a nice thing to make together. Okay so I'm just going to fill in my blueberries a little bit and then we're going to do our strawberries. Just going to add them in and fill in this part that we have opened. You guys have to let me know if you've made anything like this before. I'd love to hear. Alright look at that. Our Fourth of July trifle. I think they'll look so pretty. You can see all the berries along the side. How pretty is that? I'm excited to try this. Alright, Fourth of July Trifle. So excited to try it. Okay. Feels delicious. Mm mm mm. I love that lemon and the pound cake and the berries and that cream. Delicious. Hope you guys try it for the fourth.
