Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups blackberries
• 1 ½ cup blueberries
• 1 ½ strawberries (halved or quartered depending on size)
• ½ to 1 cup Grand Marnier
• ½ jar lemon curd 5 oz.(or make your own)
• 1 ½ Sara Lee pound cake (found in freezer section or make your own)
• 3 8 oz Cool Whip (or make your own)
• Zest from 1 Orange
• Mint to garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Soak berries in Grand Marnier (we used ½ cup) for 10 minutes then strain
2. Mix together cool whip, lemon curd and zest from 1 orange using a spatula
3. If you would like, you can use cookie cutters to cut shapes out using the pound cake. We chose to use stars here for a July 4th or Patriotic theme. Slice the pound cake into ½” slices, cut out your shapes and then break up the remainder pound cake into cubes.
4. Add cut up pieces of pound cake into your trifle dish as your first layer and then add a 1/3 of the cool whip mixture with a layer of berries
5. If you chose to use cut out shapes, now is the time to start placing them on the sides of your trifle dish so that they show from the side view. Then add another layer of pound cake, cool whip and berries.
6. Continue for three layers. On top, you can decorate with more cool whip, berries and cut out shapes. If you want to make the top a little fancier, you can pipe the cool whip, but not necessary
7. Store in refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
