1

In a large bowl, empty the jar of triple berry jam. Add about 2 tablespoons of water to the empty jar, shake well, and pour into the bowl to get all the jam out.

3

In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

4

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and beat until combined.

5

Gradually pour in the heavy whipping cream while mixing. Increase the mixer speed and beat until stiff peaks form.

6

Cut the pound cake into 1-inch cubes.

7

To assemble, place one-third of the cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle dish. Top with one-third of the berry mixture, followed by one-third of the cream filling.

8

Repeat the layers two more times, ending with the cream filling on top.

Garnish the top of the trifle with fresh berries and mint sprigs.
