  • 2/3 - 3/4 loaf pound cake
  • 4 cup strawberries divided (about 1 qt.)
  • 1- 1/3 cup blueberries divided
  • 4 cup Dole's Berry Blend or other 100% fruit juice
  • 4 tsp agar powder -OR- 7 Tbsp. agar flakes
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 4 Tbs powdered sugar or mild-flavored honey

Instructions
 

  • Slice pound cake 1/2 - 3/4" thick. Cover the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish with slices.
  • Sprinkle agar over fruit juice in a pan and let soak for 15 minutes.
  • Slice 1 cup of strawberries. Simmer agar in juice until dissolved (about 10 minutes for flakes). Let sit until thick, then stir in sliced strawberries and 1 cup of blueberries. Pour over pound cake and let sit until juice is firm.
  • Whip cream until foamy, add sugar or honey and continue whipping until peaks form. Spread sweetened whipped cream gently over juice.
