Prepare Raspberries:
Drain the frozen unsweetened raspberries, ensuring to save the juice. Set aside both the raspberries and the juice. -
Beat Cream Cheese:
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until the mixture is velvety smooth and well combined. -
Add Flavor:
Gradually incorporate the orange juice or liqueur into the cream cheese mixture. Fold in the whipping cream gently until fully combined. -
Assemble the Layers:
- Begin by drizzling the cake slices with 1/4 cup of the reserved raspberry juice. This adds a burst of fruity flavor to the cake.
- In an 8-cup (2L) glass or trifle bowl, create layers by alternating the following:
- Half of the cake slices.
- One-third of the cream cheese mixture.
- Half of the frozen berries, gently pressing some against the sides of the bowl.
- One-third of the grated chocolate.
- Repeat these layers once more.
-
Final Layer:
Spoon the remaining one-third of the cream cheese mixture over the second layer of berries, ensuring an even spread. -
Chill:
Cover the trifle dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set perfectly. -
Presentation:
For an eye-catching presentation, mound a few fresh raspberries in the center of the dessert and garnish with mint leaves. Finally, top it all off with the remaining grated chocolate.
