Preparation
Step 1
For Lemon Curd: Combine first 5 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk in eggs. Whisk constantly over medium-low heat until curd thickens, about 2 minutes (do not boil). Strain curd through sieve into bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of curd; chill overnight.
For Lemon Syrup: Combine all ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Cool.
For Filling: Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup whipping cream, and vanilla in large bowl until smooth. Beat 2 cups whipping cream and 1/4 cup sugar in another large bowl until peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture in 2 additions.
Puree 1 container blueberries and 1/4 cup lemon syrup in processor. Transfer to medium bowl. Add 1 1/2 containers blueberries and mash with potato masher until chunky puree forms. Reserve remaining blueberries for garnish.
Arrange 1/3 of pound cake cubes (about 2 generous cups) in bottom of 14-cup glass trifle dish. Drizzle with 7 tablespoons lemon syrup. Spoon 1/3 of cream cheese filling (about 2 cups) over cake in dollops; spread to sides of dish. Spoon half of blueberry puree over; spread to sides of dish. Spoon half of lemon curd (about 1 1/4 cups) over blueberry puree in dollops, then spread to sides of dish. Repeat layering with 1/3 of cake cubes, 7 tablespoons lemon syrup, 1/3 of cream cheese filling, and remaining blueberry puree, then remaining cake cubes, 7 tablespoons lemon syrup, and remaining lemon curd.
