Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Lemon Berry Trifle was part cheesecake and part trifle, and it was as easy to make as it was elegant. To save time and energy, she used a store-bought pound cake as the base. She chose a large glass bowl to showcase each of the colorful and tasty trifle layers.
