Ingredients
- 1 13 oz store-bought or homemade angel food cake
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Blueberry Sauce:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups frozen wild blueberries
Cheesecake Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups 355ml heavy cream
- 12 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup 90g powdered sugar
Instructions
For the Blueberry Sauce: In a medium saucepan whisk together granulated sugar and cornstarch. Mix in water and lemon juice. Add in frozen blueberries.
- Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently. Allow mixture to boil for about 2 minutes until thickened.
- Let cool then chill completely (to speed chill I put it in a bowl in the freezer and stirred about every 5 minutes to until cold).
For the cheesecake topping: In a medium chilled mixing bowl* whip heavy cream using an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate large mixing bowl whip cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar using hand mixer until smooth and slightly fluffy. Fold whipped cream mixture into cream cheese mixture.
To assemble trifles: Gently cut angel food cake into small cubes using a serrated knife. Divide half of the angel food cake cubes among cups.
- Place cheesecake topping in a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip and pipe half of the cheesecake filling over angel food cake layer.
- Top with 1 - 2 spoonsful of blueberry sauce then repeat layering once more. Garnish with mint if desired and serve immediatel
Notes
*To chill bowl put it in the freezer for 5 minutes.
You should be able to get about 7 - 8 cups filled but it will vary depending on the size of the cups. You can get more if you only do one set of layers in smaller cups.
