Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Whipped Cream

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Fruit and Cake Layers

  • 1 lb. pound cake or sponge cake
  • 2 lbs. strawberries, sliced
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • 12 oz. raspberries
  • 2 jars (12 oz. each) strawberry topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed for about 2 minutes until completely smooth and lump-free. While continuing to mix on medium speed, slowly add the heavy whipping cream and combine. Increase the mixer speed to high and whip until soft peaks form.
  2. Sweeten Whipped Cream: Add the powdered sugar and continue beating at high speed until stiff peaks form, approximately 2-3 more minutes. The whipped cream mixture should be thick, fluffy, and hold its shape well. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Cake Layer: Cut or tear the pound cake into 1-inch cubes. In the bottom of a large clear trifle dish, arrange an even layer of the pound cake cubes. Spoon half of the strawberry topping evenly over the pound cake layer.
  4. Layer the Fruit and Cream: Layer the sliced strawberries evenly over the strawberry topping, followed by blueberries, then raspberries. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese whipped cream evenly across the top.
  5. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers—start with the remaining pound cake, then the remaining strawberry topping, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and finish with cream cheese whipped cream.
  6. Add Optional Third Layer: If there is remaining ingredient and space in your dish, add a third layer following the same sequence. Finish with a final layer of cream cheese whipped cream. Garnish with whole fresh berries and mint leaves for an attractive presentation.
  7. Chill Before Serving: Cover the trifle tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Overnight chilling is preferred as it allows flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, ripe berries for vibrant flavor and color.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the cream mixture.
  • The dessert can be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight to improve texture and flavor blending.
  • Substitute pound cake with sponge cake or angel food cake if preferred.
  • Use a clear trifle dish to show off the beautiful layers for an elegant presentation.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added color and aroma.
