    Why Individual Trifles Instead of a Large Trifle?

    No reason in particular other than convenience and the cuteness factor! I don't make many individual desserts but I think the presentation is lovely and you can make the exact number of servings you need - no more and no less!

    Individual desserts like these Lemon Blueberry Trifles are also perfect for date night meals as you can simply prepare two desserts instead of a large batch recipe that will most likely go to waste - or worse, you make yourself sick by eating too much (I may be guilty of this haha).

    Making Individual Lemon Blueberry Trifles

    Start by cutting up your prepared lemon cake into cubes - some small and some a bit larger. You may use boxed cake mix for your lemon cake or try this delicious lemon cake recipe (jump to lemon cake layer section and half the recipe to yield one 9-inch cake to make four trifles)!

    These Individual Lemon Blueberry Trifles are also the perfect way to use up cake scraps or a failed cake that you don't want to trash.

    Layer the bottom of four stemless wine glasses or mason jars each with an even layer of lemon cake cubes, using smaller pieces to fill in gaps. Spoon a couple tablespoons of vanilla pudding over top of cake in each glass. Top pudding with an even layer of fresh blueberries, then whipped cream.

    Repeat this layering process once more, leaving about an inch at the top of each glass. Top each trifle with fresh blueberries and lemon zest to finish. Serve immediately.

    Can I Substitute Another Cake Flavor or Fruit?

    Absolutely! I'll be totally honest with you guys - this recipe came about after I had a major cake fail due to adding too much baking powder in a recipe. The center of my cakes collapsed but the flavor was incredible - so lemon blueberry trifles it was!

    You can use any flavor cake of your choosing as well as different types of fruits. You can even use brownies or blondies instead of cake! Here are just a few flavor combination suggestions that I've mentally bookmarked to try soon:

    • Chocolate cake with strawberries
    • White cake with blackberries
    • Red velvet cake with chocolate pudding and strawberries
    • White cake with peaches or apricots
    • Brownies with cherries

    Feel free to let your imagination run wild and experiment with all types of different flavor combinations! Be sure and let me know how your creations turn out in the comments section below!
