Directions:

Preparing the Pudding:

1. Mix the Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, both packages of instant lemon pudding mix, lemon juice, and milk. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
2. Chill the Pudding: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to set.

Making the Whipped Cream:

1. Start the Whipped Cream: In another large mixing bowl, pour in the remaining 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Beat with an electric mixer on high until the cream begins to thicken.
2. Add Sweetness and Flavor: Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and a dash of vanilla extract. Continue to beat until the cream forms stiff peaks.

Layering the Trifle:

1. First Layer: In a large trifle bowl, arrange half of the cubed angel food cake at the bottom.
2. Add Lemon Pudding: Spoon half of the chilled lemon pudding over the cake, spreading it evenly.
3. Add Berries: Scatter half of the sliced strawberries and half of the blueberries over the pudding.
4. Top with Whipped Cream: Spread half of the whipped cream over the berries.
5. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process starting with the remaining angel food cake, followed by the rest of the lemon pudding, berries, and finishing with the remaining whipped cream on top.

Chill and Serve:

1. Final Chill: Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the layers to set and chill completely.
2. Serve: Once ready, serve the trifle chilled, ideally on the same day to enjoy the freshness of the berries and the lightness of the whipped cream.

This trifle is a light, fresh, and delicious dessert that’s sure to impress anyone who gets a taste! Enjoy your creation!
