Place the preserves in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Microwave 30-60 seconds or
until warm; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat whipping cream, working from low to medium-high
speed, until stiff peaks form, 3-4 minutes.

In a separate large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Beat
in half of the whipped cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. On low speed,
beat in the remaining whipped cream until smooth and fluffy.

In a large glass trifle dish, layer 1/3 of the whipped cream mixture, 1/3 of the berry
preserves mixture, 1/3 of the cake cubes and 1/3 of the various fruits (except the
blackberries and pomegranate seeds). Repeat the layers, ending with fresh fruit.
Finish with blackberries and pomegranate seeds.
