Steps:
- Trim and quarter the strawberries and set aside. Combine the blueberries, blackberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup water, lemon zest, juice and salt in a medium saucepot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
- Place the cream cheese, 1/4 cup cream, the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the vanilla extract in a large bowl and beat on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. In a second large bowl, whip the remaining cream until stiff peaks form. Fold about one-quarter of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until lightened, and then fold in the remaining whipped cream.
- To assemble the trifle, rip or cut the angel food cake into 2-inch pieces. Place half the cake pieces in the bottom of a 12-to-14-cup trifle dish or large bowl. Top with about half the blueberry sauce, half the cream and half the quartered strawberries. Repeat the layers with the remaining cake, berry sauce, cream and strawberries. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 8 hours or overnight. Before serving either dust with confectioners' sugar or heat the apple jelly in the microwave for 25 seconds to loosen, and then brush over the strawberries.

Steps:
- Make lemon syrup: In a small saucepan, bring 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Let cool completely, then brush over both sides of cake slices. Quarter each slice.
- With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese with remaining 1/3 cup sugar on high speed until lightened. With mixer on medium speed, gradually add heavy cream in a steady stream; continue beating until mixture is light and airy (mixture will be like a very soft whipped cream).
- Arrange half the cake pieces in the bottom of a 2-quart serving dish. Spoon half the cream-cheese mixture over cake in dollops; spread to sides of dish. Scatter half the blueberries and raspberries on top. Repeat layering with remaining cake, cream-cheese mixture, and berries, piling berries in the center.
- Cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

Steps:
- Directions: Whisk the condensed milk and water in a bowl. Whisk in the pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set; fold in the whipped topping. Arrange half of the cake in the bottom of a 14-cup trifle dish. Sprinkle evenly with a layer of blueberries. Spread half of the cream mixture over the blueberries and gently spread (I piped it using a plastic bag and cut the corner off). Top with a layer of strawberries. Layer the remaining cake cubes on top of the strawberries, then add more blueberries and top with the remaining cream mixture. Finish with the remaining strawberries and blueberries, arranging them in a pretty pattern. Cover and refrigerate at least one 1 hour.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and fresh berries. This will ensure that your trifle is bursting with flavor.
- Use a variety of berries. This will add visual appeal and complexity of flavor to your trifle.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cake. Angel food cake, pound cake, and even brownies can all be used to make a delicious trifle.
- Make sure your custard is thick enough. It should be able to coat the back of a spoon.
- Chill your trifle for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
Whipped Cream:
- For a lighter and fluffier whipped cream, use heavy cream instead of whipping cream.
- Add a little bit of sugar or vanilla extract to the whipped cream for extra flavor.
- Be careful not to overbeat the whipped cream, or it will become grainy.
Assembly:
- Start with a layer of cake, then a layer of berries, and then a layer of custard.
- Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the trifle dish.
- Top the trifle with whipped cream and additional berries.
Conclusion:
This red, white, and blueberry trifle is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet and tangy flavors, this trifle is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
