1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature (optional)
2/3 cup sugar

Beat the sugar and the cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and light. Add the cream and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and the consistency of whipped cream.

Cool the pound cake and cut the slices into 1-inch cubes. Brush the bottom of an 8x8 dish or trifle bowl with the cinnamon sauce and arrange half of the cake cubes in the dish. Mix fruit with the remaining cinnamon sauce. Sprinkle with half of the berry mixture. Dollop half of the cream mixture over the berries and gently spread. Layer the remaining cake cubes on top, then sprinkle with the remaining fruit mixture. Layer the remainder of the cream mixture and top with any remaining berries. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
