1 (8 oz) block cream cheese

softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 ½ cups cold heavy whipping cream

12 oz strawberries

hulled and sliced

6 oz blueberries

8 oz pound cake or ladyfingers

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
To assemble the trifle cups, start with a layer of cubed pound cake or ladyfingers at the bottom of each cup. If using, spread a layer of strawberry jam or berry compote over the cake.
Next, add a generous layer of whipped cream mixture, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries and blueberries.
Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish with extra berries and fresh mint leaves, if desired. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
