A luscious layered dessert combining fresh peaches, fluffy cream, and tender cake for a refreshing, elegant treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (to macerate peaches)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 cups whipped cream (from whipping the heavy cream)
  • 1 (10‑oz) pound cake or angel food cake, cut into 1‑inch cubes
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, extra peach slices

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss peach slices with 1/4 cup sugar; let sit 15 minutes until juicy.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Whip chilled heavy cream to stiff peaks; gently fold into cream‑cheese mixture to make sweetened whipped cream.
  4. In a trifle bowl or large glass dish, layer 1/3 of cake cubes.
  5. Top with half of the peach mixture (with juices) and then 1/3 of the sweetened whipped cream.
  6. Repeat layers: cake, remaining peaches, and another 1/3 whipped cream.
  7. Finish with a top layer of cake cubes and the rest of the whipped cream.
  8. Garnish with peach slices and mint. Chill at least 1 hour before serving to meld flavors.

Notes

  • Use fully ripe peaches for best flavor and sweetness.
  • Let peaches macerate to release their natural juices into the trifle.
  • Angel food cake keeps the dessert light, while pound cake adds richness.
  • Chill time helps layers set and flavors combine.
  • Serve in a clear glass bowl to showcase the beautiful layers.
