What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Pro Tips Before You Start

Use cold ingredients for best whipping consistency.

Chop pound cake into cubes ahead of time to save assembly time.

Pipe the cream for a clean, layered look.

Garnish with whole strawberries for a picture-perfect finish.

How to Make Summer Strawberry Trifles

Step 1: Make the Lemon Mascarpone Cream
Combine whipping cream, mascarpone, cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon curd, and lemon zest in a large bowl.

Use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to whip until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Layer the Jars
Start with a handful of chopped strawberries at the bottom of each mason jar (about 8 oz jars).

Step 3: Add Cream
Scoop or pipe a generous layer of the lemon mascarpone cream on top of the berries.

Step 4: Add Cake Cubes
Layer in the pound cake cubes (1-2 pieces depending on size).

Step 5: Top It Off
Finish with one more dollop of cream and garnish with fresh strawberries (some with stems on for color pop).

What to Serve It With

Iced tea or sparkling lemonade

A light summer salad or brunch

Serve as a sweet ending to a BBQ meal

Variations / Substitutions

Swap strawberries for blueberries or raspberries.

Use angel food cake or ladyfingers instead of pound cake.

Add a splash of limoncello to the cream for a boozy twist.

Storage & Leftovers

Fridge: Store assembled trifles in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Make ahead: Assemble 1 day ahead for best flavor.

Avoid freezing: The cream won’t hold up well when thawed.

FAQs

Can I use homemade pound cake?
Yes, absolutely. Just make sure it’s fully cooled before layering.

Can I make this in a large trifle dish instead of jars?
Yes! Simply layer everything in a big glass bowl.

Can I use Cool Whip instead of whipped cream?
Yes, but it will be sweeter and less rich.

Can I skip the mascarpone?
You can substitute with extra cream cheese, but the flavor won’t be as luxurious.

Do I need to macerate the strawberries?
Nope! Fresh strawberries work perfectly here without added sugar.

Is this gluten-free?
Only if you use gluten-free pound cake.

Final Thoughts

These Strawberry Lemon Mascarpone Trifles are bright, easy, and perfect for summer entertaining.

With just a few ingredients and no baking, you get a show-stopping treat that tastes like sunshine in every bite.
