Monell'S Strawberry Lasagna

1. 1

   I usedSara Lee'spound cakes available in the freezer section. Any pound cake will do, but this one was dense, so it was easier to slice.

2. 2

   In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend cream cheese, pudding mix, cream, milk and confectioners' sugar on high speed until light and fluffy.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, mash the strawberries with the kirsch and granulated sugar. Most of the strawberry mixture will be used for the filling. For the topping, puree 1/2 cup of the strawberry mixture in a food processor. This will be used later as the lasagna sauce for the top of the dessert. Refrigerate until ready to use.

4. 4

   To assemble, slice the pound cake loaves lengthwise using a serrated knife or bread knife, into 1/2-inch slices. Line the bottom of a metal or glass 13-by-9-inch baking dish with a layer of sliced pound cake. Layer with half the cream cheese mixture, then a layer of strawberry mixture. Layer again with cake, cream cheese and strawberries. Repeat until you've used all of the ingredients.

5. 5

   To serve, cut the lasagna into 3-inch squares. Swirl the reserved strawberry topping on top of the dessert to make it look like sauce.
