Cranberry Trifle

No Bake Holiday Dessert

Gather the ingredients - * Cranberries * Water * Sugar * Cinnamon * Orange zest * Cream cheese * Sugar * Vanilla extract * Heavy whipping cream * Pound cake

In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, cinnamon, water, orange zest,  and sugar.  Cook on medium heat for 12-15 minutes.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and  vanilla extract until well combined.  Slowly add in heavy cream,  beating until soft peaks form.

Cut the cakes into 1 inch x 1 inch cubes and place half of the cake cubes at the bottom of the trifle dish.

Cover the pound cake with half of the cranberry sauce spreading it so it is even.
