| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a bowl, toss fresh strawberries with 1/2 cup of sugar; set aside to macerate, allowing the strawberries to release their juices and develop a sweet flavor. |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, then add in the orange juice and remaining sugar, continuing to beat until well combined and fluffy. |
| 3 | Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating a luscious and airy cheesecake filling; set aside for assembly. |
| 4 | Drain the macerated strawberries, reserving the juice for later use; set the berries aside for layering. |
| 5 | Toss the prepared pound cake cubes with the reserved strawberry juice, ensuring each cube is lightly coated and infused with the fruity essence. |
| 6 | Begin layering the trifle dish or serving bowl by placing half of the prepared cake cubes at the bottom, creating a sturdy base for the layers above. |
| 7 | Spoon a third of the cream cheese mixture over the cake layer, spreading it evenly to cover the surface and create a creamy foundation for the next layers. |
| 8 | Arrange half of the macerated strawberries on top of the cream cheese layer, distributing them evenly to ensure a burst of fruity flavor in every bite. |
| 9 | Sprinkle half of the chocolate curls over the strawberries, adding a decadent touch of richness and indulgence to the trifle. |
| 10 | Repeat the layering process with the remaining cake cubes, cream cheese mixture, strawberries, and chocolate curls, building a visually stunning and flavor-packed dessert. |
| 11 | Finish the trifle by topping it off with the remaining cream cheese mixture, smoothing it out for a polished appearance. |
| 12 | For an elegant finishing touch, garnish the trifle with additional chocolate curls and fresh strawberries as desired, adding a pop of color and texture to the presentation. |
| 13 | Cover the trifle dish or serving bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set properly. |
| 14 | Once chilled, serve the Elegant Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle to delighted guests, savoring each spoonful of this irresistible masterpiece. |
