When I was pregnant with my first baby in middle of July, my face and my feet were swollen and puffy because of the 100 degree heat and my protruding pregnant belly. Nothing made me feel better except for the berry lemonade from Sonic. I would go almost every weekend with my husband who graciously came with me to enjoy it. And ever since then, I have loved raspberry lemonade like none other. Plus, my husband orders it at every restaurant! So this Lemon Raspberry Trifle is heavenly and an easy summer dessert. Lemon Raspberry Trifle is refreshing and cool and just what you need right now! You could also try this Skinny Lemon Raspberry Trifle recipe from Mom on Timeout. I also have another Lemonade Ice Cream Pie Dessert that you may like for the summer too.

How to make Lemon Raspberry Trifle

For this recipe, you will need lemon pudding, raspberries, sugar, whipped cream, and a lemon cake. (You may also want a lemon just for a garnish on top.)

2. You will need about 4 cups of raspberries (more or less, it’s up to you). Divide the raspberries in half. Start by putting 1-2 cups of your raspberries in the blender, with about 1/2 cup of sugar. (Or just put in sugar to taste.) You may also need a little water in your blender to give it some liquid. This will create a fresh raspberry syrup.

3. Wash the rest of the raspberries and let them dry. They will be used later to put in the trifle, and you want them to by pretty dry.

4. Prepare your lemon cake according to your recipe, whip the cream, and make your lemon pudding. Cut the cake into bite-size chunks. Notice the pretty colors already!!!

5. Layer the ingredients in a bowl or trifle dish, starting with pudding, then cake, then raspberries and syrup, and ending with whipped cream. Repeat. (And notice the color!)

6. Use some of the left over raspberries and some lemon slices to decorate this trifle. (It’s so colorful and cute!) And it’s okay if it doesn’t look perfect, because it’ll taste great.

The ultimate easy summer dessert!
