Instructions
Pour the chilled whipping cream into mixer bowl and add the 1 cup sugar. Beat on high speed for 3 to 4 until stiff peaks form. Remove the whipped cream from bowl and set aside. Into the same bowl (no need to rinse), add the cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Whip on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add approximately 1/2 of the whipped cream into the cream cheese and whisk again for 30 seconds, just until combined. Reserve the remaining whipped cream for the topping.
To arrange dessert, layer the lady fingers/sponge cake alternating with fruit and the whipped cream filling in a trifle bowl. Dip lady fingers into rose wine briefly before layering into dessert.
The fruit trifle can be enjoyed immediately, or refrigerated for up to 2 days.
