I love making pretty individual desserts. They seem so personal and gives the impression that someone took the time to make something special just for you (me).
I like trifles and they are perfect to individualize by making them in a jar. Since blueberries are one of the super foods, they make great trifles.
I like this homemade blueberry jar trifle recipe for family gatherings or parties…
Blueberry Jar Trifle
Ingredients:
- 1 C. sugar
- ½ C. butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ C. flour
- 2 tsp. Baking powder
- ½ C. milk
- 2 tsp. Vanilla
- Whipped cream (I used Reddi-Wip)
- 4 pints of fresh blueberries
- 20-24 8 oz. jelly jars
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the sugar, butter, vanilla, milk and eggs and mix well. Stir in flour and baking powder. Mix well.
- Pour batter into greased and lightly floured 9×13 baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely by placing it in the fridge for a few hours.
- Once the cake is cool, remove it from the baking dish and cut into small chunks and set aside. Next, rinse your blueberries.
- Finally, you can begin layering your jars. Start with a layer of cake, next add a layer of blueberries and then a layer of repeat cream. Repeat. Top with whipped cream and some extra blueberries on top.
- Repeat this process with the other jars.
*Serve immediately. I don’t recommend storing them because of the whipped cream although you probably could leave in the fridge a few hours prior to serving.
Makes approximately 20-24 jars. (1) 8 oz. jar = 1 serving.
I hope you try this Blueberry Trifle in a jar… I think you’ll find it a big hit with your guests!
Oh that looks refreshingly light for a summer dessert! I love fresh blueberries on just about anything. I don’t really make a lot of summer desserts, we usually just eat fresh fruit, but I do like a frozen pie or cake when we grill out or need to bring a dessert to a friend’s gathering.
I honestly don’t have a favorite desert that I make for gatherings. I have plenty of favorites that I like to enjoy at events. I am normally the one who brings a main course item. This looks really good.
Looks delish. I love eating things out of jars.
That looks so delicious! I love blueberries. 🙂
This sounds like an amazing Spring treat. Fresh blueberries are so delicious!

I love blueberries! What I serve at gatherings depends on my mood, what I have on hand or how quick and easy it is.

This looks really, really good! I’m always getting request for my red velvet cake, banana pudding, caramel cake and banana cream pie. I make them at least five times a week for functions and other events.
