This is so amazing and so simple to make! This month as an ambassador for Fresh From Florida we were given Florida Blueberries to talk about. I can tell you the blueberries grown here are just delicious and I am looking forward to going to pick them soon. I went twice last year and just used up my last bag I had in the freezer a few weeks ago. I’m so glad to see the fresh ones start to come into the grocery stores right now.

As sad as I am to see Strawberry season start to come to an end, I look forward to these blueberries. They are so sweet and burst with just picked flavor and they are so good for you.

I went to a farm outside of Zephyr Hills where they grow them in containers so that they are at the right level for picking, no bending down. As I get older it is the little things you learn to appreciate. It only took about 30 minutes to pick a bucket full, which was about 10 lbs.

Blueberry Farm

You won’t believe how sweet these blueberries are, I had a few right from the bush and they were just like eating candy. Don’t you love the combination of the blueberries and the palm trees?

I decided to make for you today an Angel Food Cake Blueberry Trifle. I made an Angel Food Cake from a box but you can buy one too or make it from scratch if you are that ambitious. If you buy a bar Angel Food Cake from the store, get 2 if you want your trifle the size of this one. The angel food cake has a cream cheese mixture mixed in with it and then layers of a fresh beautiful cooked blueberry filling. It is topped with whipped cream. It is good right away but gets better if allowed to set refrigerated at least 4 hours, overnight is even better.

    I love trifle! I always have it with strawberries, but I think I better make it with blueberries next time! It looks so amazing!

      I love my trifle bowl. It is the perfect size. I used to have a bigger one and rarely used it. Unless you are going to feed 20 people those big ones will just collect dust in your cupboard if your house is like mine. I love how they look too in them. Wish you were closer, I’d share!

    this looks divine! I didn’t know we grew blueberries here in Florida – psyched!

      We sure do, there are several blueberry farms by me but I love the one in Zephyr Hills so I go there. The bonus is one of my friends from high school winters there so we’re going together this year.

    Your trifle looks amazing!! We have a blueberry bush, but the birds always seem to beat me to them! I think about putting netting over it every year but then I don’t do it. Probably because then it won’t look as nice and I’m sure they’re a nice treat for the birds. But we also have wild raspberries growing that I sometimes use for muffins and those are more plentiful…I imagine I could use that as well?

      I don’t see why not. I think what makes this really good is the cheesecake mixture that coats the angel food so any fruit would work. I would cook whichever one you choose so it is like a filling.

    Could you use canned blueberry pie filling? In Minnesota, in the winter, blueberries are not affordable(or very good)?

    Thanks!!

    Made this angel food blueberry dessert for thanksgiving and it was great. I did not expect it to be so light with the cream cheese and whipped cream. Planning on making it for church Christmas party. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
