Ingredients

Red Velvet Cake

1 box red velvet cake mix baked per instructions

Boozy Berry Filling

1 cup frozen raspberries thawed and drained
0.5 cup fresh raspberries
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp liqueur such as Chambord or Cassis

Cream Cheese Sauce

4 oz cream cheese softened
0.5 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk

Whipped Cream

1 cup whipping cream
0.25 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare red velvet cake as instructed. Freeze one layer for future use; cube the other into ½-inch squares.
In a bowl, combine thawed frozen raspberries, fresh raspberries, sugar, and liqueur. Lightly mash and set aside.
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
Whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Keep cold.
Layer in glasses: cake cubes, berry filling, cream cheese sauce, whipped cream. Repeat until filled.
Top with extra whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or raspberries. Chill before serving.

Notes

To make this alcohol-free, swap the liqueur with raspberry juice or pomegranate syrup. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.
