Ingredients

4 cups Strawberries sliced (reserve ¾ cup for garnish)
2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
16 ounces Cream Cheese room temperature
1 ½ cups Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 lb Pound Cake cut into 1" cubes
3 sprigs Mint for garnish on top

Instructions

Wash, hull and slice the strawberries. Reserve about ¾ up for decorating the top.
In a medium mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, whip the cream cheese until light and fluffy - about 2-3 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then whip on low speed until combined. Increase to medium and whip until light and fluffy. Fold the reserved whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula and mix until combined.
To assemble the trifle, layer ½ of the pound cake cubes over the bottom of a 12-13" trifle dish. Add half of the berries evenly over the top of the pound cake and then spread ½ of the whipped topping using a spatula.
Continue with one more layer of the pound cake, one more layer of berries, and the rest of the whipped cream mixture. Use an offset spatula to smooth out the top, then line the edges and top with the reserved berries and garnish with fresh mint.
This Berry Trifle is best enjoyed the day it is prepared but will also keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Enjoy!
