How to Make Floating Berries

  1. Wash and hull 1 pint of strawberries. In a medium bowl, gently mix the strawberries with 2 tablespoons of Splenda. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 3 hours.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese with 1/4 cup powdered sugar until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well.
  4. Gently fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, gently toss 1/2 cup blueberries with 1 tablespoon of fruit glaze. Set aside.
  6. Tear one 10-ounce package of your favorite pound cake into bite-sized pieces.
  7. In a clear trifle bowl or serving dish, layer half of the cake pieces, half of the cream cheese mixture, and half of the strawberry and blueberry mixture.
  8. Repeat layers: cake, cream cheese mixture, and fruit mixture.
  9. Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill thoroughly.
