1 12-oz. pkg. frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed
12 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups chilled whipping cream
1 cup water
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
40 (approx.) Champagne biscuits (crisp ladyfinger style cookies; from
two 3.5 oz. pkgs.)
Fresh raspberries
Fresh mint sprigs (optional)
Puree thawed raspberries in processor until smooth.
Strain into medium bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as
possible. Discard seeds in strainer.
Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar in large bowl

Beat chilled whipping cream in another large bowl until peaks form.
Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
Add pureed raspberries and fold just until combined.

saucepan, stirring frequently. Cool slightly. Dip 1 biscuit briefly into
lemon syrup, turning to coat. Place flat side up in bottom of 12-cup
trifle dish. Repeat with enough biscuits to cover bottom of trifle dish,
trimming biscuits to fit if necessary. Spread 1/3 of raspberry-cream
cheese mixture over biscuits in trifle dish. Dip more biscuits into lemon
syrup and arrange atop raspberry-cream cheese mixture in dish, covering
completely and trimming to fit if necessary. Repeat layering with more
raspberry-cream cheese mixture then biscuits; top with remaining
raspberry-cream cheese mixture.
Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
