Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (10-ounce) packaged angel food cake cubed, see note 1
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese full-fat, brick-style
- 3/4 cup evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (21-ounce) can blueberry pie filling
- 1-1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Using a mixer, whip together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes. Add evaporated milk and mix until smooth.
- Remove cake from the packaging. Slice into 1-inch-thick slices. Cut each slice into small 1-inch cubes, then add cubes into the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold the cake cubes into the cream mixture until well coated.
- Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Use a mixer with a whisk attachment to mix on low speed until sugar is incorporated, then increase the speed to medium-high and beat, watching closely, until soft peaks form.
- Spread 1/2 of the cake mixture along the bottom of a trifle dish or 9x13-inch pan. Top with 1/2 of the blueberry pie filling. Smooth 1/2 of the whipped cream on top. Don’t worry about it looking perfect or pretty, it will be a bit messy!
- Repeat the layers with the remaining cake mixture, remaining blueberry fruit filling, and remaining whipped cream. Cover tightly and chill for at least 2–24 hours.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. To get clean slices, run a knife under hot water for a few seconds, wipe it dry, make 1 slice, and repeat. Use a metal spatula to remove squares and serve.

Notes
Note 1: To keep things simple, get a packaged angel food cake from the bakery section of your grocery store. If you aren't able to find one, grab a boxed mix and prepare the angel food cake before proceeding with this recipe. Another alternative is to make your own from scratch. Whichever way, we’re looking for a fresh cake and about 6-1/2 to 7 cups of cake cubes. If you use more than that, the trifle will seem dry.
