Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: None
Total Time: 25 min + chilling

Ingredients:

• 2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup sugar, divided
• 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons orange juice
• 3 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped
• 1 loaf (10-3/4 ounces) frozen pound cake, thawed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, grated
• Optional: Chocolate curls and additional sliced strawberries

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the strawberries:
   Toss the sliced strawberries with 1/2 cup of sugar and let them sit to macerate, drawing out the juices. Set them aside.
2. Make the cream cheese mixture:
   Beat the softened cream cheese, orange juice, and remaining sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream and set aside.
3. Assemble the trifle:
   Drain the macerated strawberries, reserving their juice. Gently toss the pound cake cubes with the reserved juice to soak.
   In a 4-quart trifle dish or large serving bowl, layer half of the cake, a third of the cream cheese mixture, half of the strawberries, and half of the grated chocolate. Repeat the layers and top with the remaining cream cheese mixture.
4. Garnish and chill:
   Garnish with chocolate curls and additional sliced strawberries if desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Pro Tips:

• Make it ahead: You can prepare all the components a day ahead and assemble the trifle the day you plan to serve it.
• Frozen strawberries: If using frozen berries, thaw them in the fridge first, and mix with sugar to extract the juice.
• Whip cream to soft peaks: Aim for soft peaks in your whipped cream—this ensures it folds nicely into the cream cheese without becoming too stiff.
