How to Make Raspberry Cheesecake Trifle

  1. Drain 12 ounces fresh raspberries, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice. Set aside the raspberries and juice separately.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together 16 ounces cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons orange juice (or 1 tablespoon orange liqueur) to the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in 2 cups heavy whipping cream until just combined.
  4. To assemble: Drizzle 1/4 cup of the reserved raspberry juice over slices of 1 (8-inch) pound cake, cut into 1-inch thick slices.
  5. In an 8-cup glass trifle bowl or similar serving dish, layer half of the cake slices. Top with 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture, half of the drained raspberries, and 1/3 cup of grated semi-sweet chocolate.
  6. Repeat layers: Add remaining cake slices, another 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture, the remaining raspberries, and another 1/3 cup grated chocolate.
  7. Spoon the remaining 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the second berry layer.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
  9. For an attractive presentation: Mound a few fresh raspberries in the center of the dessert and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  10. Finish by sprinkling the remaining grated chocolate over the top.
