How to Make a Lemon Blueberry Trifle Recipe

Meanwhile, mix the instant pudding and milk together until it is smooth.
Place it in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
Cut the cake into small pieces and place several pieces into the bottom of the glass dish.
Place some of the blueberries into the glass pieces around the cake pieces.
Add a few tablespoons of the pudding and then add the whipped topping.
Add blueberries and repeat the layers.
Top the trifle with blueberries and lemon slices.

How Long is Trifle Good?
When you make a trifle, it should be stored in the refrigerator. It will last up to 3 days. The longer the trifle sits, it will become more watery and the cake will get soggy.
Do You Use Fresh or Frozen Berries in a Trifle?
I like using fresh blueberries in the trifle but you can also use frozen berries. If you want to use frozen berries, be sure to let them thaw them completely. Once the berries are thawed, make sure to dry them well.
