A delightful and easy-to-assemble berry trifle with layers of cake, cream, and fresh berries. Perfect for any occasion!

Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

1 box angel food cake store-bought, cut into 1-inch cubes
0.5 cup orange juice or liqueur, like Grand Marnier or sherry
2 packages cream cheese softened
0.5 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks
3 cups mixed berries fresh or frozen, thawed (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Place the cubed angel food cake in a large bowl. Drizzle with orange juice or liqueur and toss gently to coat.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
In a large, clear glass bowl or trifle dish, layer half of the soaked cake cubes. Top with half of the cream mixture, then half of the mixed berries.
Repeat the layers: the remaining cake cubes, the remaining cream mixture, and the remaining berries.
Chill for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to soften.

For an extra touch, you can add a layer of cookie crumbs or a simple fruit compote.
