For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of almond extract to the whipped cream. If you prefer a less boozy trifle, you can substitute the cream sherry with berry juice or apple cider. Feel free to experiment with different types of berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or additional berries just before serving for a touch of elegance.

In a medium bowl, gently combine the frozen mixed berries, cream sherry, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Allow the berries to macerate, releasing their vibrant juices. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step

In a large, chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks develop. Be careful not to overwhip. Refrigerate the whipped cream until ready to assemble. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Slice the pound cake into approximately 1/3-inch-thick pieces, discarding the dry ends. These slices will form the foundation of your trifle masterpiece. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

In a glass serving bowl, create the first layer by arranging the pound cake slices to cover the bottom. Next, spoon half of the macerated berry mixture, along with its luscious juices, evenly over the cake. Top with half of the prepared whipped cream and sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup of toasted coconut. Repeat these layers, using the remaining cake, berries, whipped cream, and coconut, creating a visually stunning and flavorful dessert. (Assembly time: 15 minutes)

Cover the assembled trifle and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. This chilling period is crucial for the trifle to achieve its optimal texture and taste. (Chilling time: 60+ minutes)
