This is a wonderful trifle, enjoyed by all. Our little store didn't have frozen pound cake so I made from scratch using Recipe #63625 which worked out fine. I only had one pkg. of cream cheese so went with it and added another cup of Cool Whip. It still tasted rich and lovely. In fact, next time I will just use the one, save a few calories (although the cake did not save any!!). I am having a hard time not opening the fridge and digging into the leftovers. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Charmie. Made for ZWT - Xtra Hot Dishes.

Made this for Christmas dessert, and everyone loved it! I used 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture in each of 2 layers, and then topped with Cool Whip instead of cream cheese mixture. It looked lovely and tasted oh-so-good! It was also incredibly easy to put together, so it is definitely a winner! Thanks for sharing, Charmie!
