Ingredients
- For the blueberry filling:
- 12 ounces fresh or frozen blueberries, plus more, to taste, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- For the cake and the cream:
- 16 ounces light or regular cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2/3 cup half-and-half or evaporated milk
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes

Step 2 -Transfer the filling from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 3 -In a bowl, use an electric hand mixer to whip the cream cheese, the half-and-half, and the remaining sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4 -Fold the angel food cake cubes into the cream mixture until they are thickly coated with a layer of cream. You may not need to use all of the cake cubes.
Step 5 -In a bowl, use an electric hand mixture to beat the heavy cream and the powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
Step 6 -In the bottom of a trifle dish or a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread 1/2 of the angel food cake mixture.
Step 7 -Dollop the angel food cake mixture with 1/2 of the blueberry mixture and top with the whipped cream.
Step 8 -Repeat the layers starting with the angel food cake mixture and ending with the whipped cream.
Step 9 -Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
Step 10 -Sprinkle the top of the mixture with the extra blueberries and serve.
