Ingredients
  

Base Layer

  • 1/2 cup finely crushed graham crackers or cookies Use gluten-free crumbs if needed.

Lemon Pudding Layer

  • 1 packet instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 1 cup milk Use your preferred milk.
  • 1 cup lemon curd Store-bought or homemade.
  • 1 tsp lemon zest Optional for extra brightness.

Fluff Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese Softened.
  • 1 cup whipped topping Thawed.
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or thawed raspberries Lightly mashed.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Adjust to taste.

Garnish

  • fresh raspberries For garnish.
  • thin lemon slices For garnish.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a shallow dish or trifle bowl, press the crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs into the bottom to form an even layer. Set aside.
  • Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with milk until smooth. Fold in the lemon curd and lemon zest for an extra citrus punch.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and continue until light and creamy.
  • Fold the whipped topping gently into the cream cheese mixture to keep it airy. Then, carefully fold in the lemon pudding mixture until just combined — avoid overmixing.

Assembly & Chilling

  • Spoon half of the lemon cream over the crust layer. Dollop the mashed raspberries over the lemon layer and swirl gently with a knife. Top with the remaining lemon cream and smooth the surface.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours (overnight is best). Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries and thin lemon slices.

Notes

For best results, taste and adjust the sweetness according to the tartness of the raspberries. Use whipped topping folded with a tablespoon of instant pudding mix for extra stability if desired. Store the topping separately if you want to maintain crunch.
