Blueberry Trifle Recipe

Pound Cake:  Cut eight 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) slices of pound cake. Measure the diameter of four trifle glasses and, using a cookie cutter, cut the pound cake slices into eight rounds so they will fit snugly into the glasses. 

Mascarpone Cream:  Place the heavy whipping cream, sugar, mascarpone, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.  Whip until soft peaks form. 

To Assemble the Trifles: Place one round slice of pound cake in the bottom of each trifle glass. Sprinkle each slice of pound cake with about 1 teaspoon Grand Marnier. Next spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of Blueberry Sauce on top of each round of cake. Cover the sauce with a few of the fresh blueberries. Place a large dollop of the whipped cream/mascarpone mixture on top of the berries. Repeat the layers, starting with the pound cake. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours to allow the flavors to mingle.

Just before serving sprinkle each trifle with come crushed Gingersnap Cookies.
