Ingredients

3 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
0.25 cup white sugar
1 quart heavy cream
1 (6 ounce) container lemon yogurt
1 (3.3 ounce) package instant white chocolate pudding mix
2 tablespoons coconut-flavored rum, or to taste, divided
2 (16 ounce) prepared pound cakes, cubed
2 pints fresh blueberries, or as needed

Instructions

Make sure you have all of your ingredients ready.
Gently mix strawberries with sugar in a bowl, ensuring the sugar is evenly distributed. Set aside.
Place a large metal mixing bowl and the beaters from your electric mixer in the freezer to chill.
Pour the cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Add lemon yogurt, pudding mix, and a tablespoon of coconut rum. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Arrange a layer of pound cake cubes at the bottom of your glass trifle dish. Sprinkle the cubes with the remaining tablespoon of coconut rum. Top the pound cake with a layer of sugared strawberries, followed by a layer of blueberries. Spread a generous layer of the whipped cream mixture over the berries.
Repeat these layers, concluding with a final layer of strawberries and blueberries. Reserve about 1 cup of whipped cream for garnishing. Add dollops of whipped cream on top of the trifle just before serving. Refrigerate any remaining trifle.
