I have always known how good lemon and blueberries taste together in pretty much every dessert, and i decided to make Lemon Blueberry Trifle. I wanted something lighter than a layer cake but still impressive enough to bring to a gathering, and honestly this trifle ended up becoming one of my favorite spring and summer desserts.

The bright lemon flavor pairs perfectly with the sweet blueberries, while the layers of cake, pudding, and whipped cream make every bite creamy and soft. It looks beautiful in a glass bowl and tastes even better after chilling for a few hours. If you already enjoy recipes like Lemon Raspberry Trifle, Mixed Berry Trifle, or Super Soft Lemon Cake, this lemon blueberry trifle fits perfectly into that homemade dessert rotation.
