• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
• 1 (12 ounce) bag mixed frozen berries
• 1 (12 ounce) loaf prepared pound cake

• 0.5 cup toasted coconut

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine frozen berries, sherry, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a medium bowl; toss to blend. Set aside.

Step 2

Beat heavy cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate whipped cream until needed.

Step 3

Cut pound cake into 1/3-inch-thick slices, discarding cake ends.

Step 4

Assemble trifle by placing a single layer of cake slices in the bottom of a glass serving bowl. Spoon 1/2 of the berry mixture with juice over cake slices. Cover with 1/2 of the whipped cream and sprinkle with 1/4 cup coconut. Repeat layering with remaining cake slices, berries with juice, whipped cream, and coconut.

Step 5

Refrigerate trifle for at least 1 hour before serving.
