Ingredients
Scale
1 prepared pound cake or angel food cake, cut into cubes
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to form the filling.
In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, layer 1/3 of the cake cubes on the bottom.
Spread 1/3 of the cream mixture over the cake, followed by a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Repeat the layers two more times, ending with the cream mixture and a generous amount of berries on top.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
You can use store-bought whipped topping for convenience.
Make a day ahead for best flavor and ease of serving.
Use a clear glass trifle dish to show off the festive layers.
