Ingredients
Scale
Cake Cubes:
- 1 pound white cake or pound cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
White Chocolate Cream:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
Assembly:
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam (optional)
- 1/2 cup toasted almonds or white chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Prepare White Chocolate Cream: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture. Slowly fold in the melted white chocolate until fully combined.
- Assemble Trifle: Layer half of the cake cubes in a trifle bowl or large glass dish. Spread half of the raspberry jam over the cake cubes if using. Add a layer of fresh raspberries, then spread half of the white chocolate cream mixture over the berries. Repeat the layers with remaining cake cubes, jam, raspberries, and cream mixture. Top with toasted almonds or white chocolate shavings for garnish.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries, thawed and drained.
- For extra tartness, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the cream mixture.
- You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer texture.
