I received this in my e-mail and just had to share it with everyone. It sounds delicious! I can't wait to make it. Edna said that she replaced the kirsch with apple juice and that she received rave reviews.

16 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 (3 ounce) packages vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup milk
8 cups mashed strawberries
1/4 cup kirsch
1 cup granulated sugar
2 loaves pound cake
1 cup whipping cream

Beat the cream cheese, pudding mix, confectioners sugar and milk in a mixer bowl at high speed till smooth.

Combine the strawberries, kirsch and sugar in a medium bowl, mixing well. Remove 1 cup of the strawberry mixture. Pur? in a food processor and reserve.

Slice the pound cake into 1/2-inch slices. Line a 9 x 13-inch dish with cake slices. Layer 1/3 of the cream cheese mix, 1/3 of the strawberry mixture, remaining cake in the prepared dish. Layer half the remaining cream cheese mix, half the remaining strawberry mixture, remaining cake and remaining cream cheese mixture in the prepared dish.

Swirl the remaining strawberry mixture over the top. Chill for 4 to 8 hours.

Beat the whipping cream in a small mixer bowl until stiff peaks form.

Cut the dessert into 3-inch squares to serve.

Top with the reserved strawberry pur? and whipped cream.

Serves 10.
