blueberry lemon trifle - light

Recipe by

This is the second year our blueberry bushes are producing and we have harvested a few cups of the little gems! I found a similar recipe to this, but in order to lighten up the calories and fat, I developed this version. For two of us, I cut everything in half and froze the left over whipped topping and angel food chunks until I get more berries. It still made enough for several days worth of desserts! Other berries or fruits, or a combination could be used instead.
