  1. Valerie REVIEW:

    I'm giving this four stars despite the fact that the directions are really difficult to understand. I actually had to make this twice. The first time, it was a mess because I tried to follow the directions. Here's my take on it after making it the second time: The mashed strawberries with kirsch was too watery. Mash the strawberries with the sugar or use frozen sweetened strawberries. Use kirsch in place of part of the milk, or as needed, to thin the cream cheese mixture. I actually used just 1/8 cup of kirsch and it was the consistency I expected. I did use the sugar free pudding mix so that might make a difference. Add the pudding mix first, then the liquids, until it is thick but very spreadable. Cut the pound cake into 1/4" slices. 1/2" is too thick. Layer as follows: 1 layer of pound cake, spread one layer of the cream cheese mixture, top with one layer of the strawberry puree. Repeat the layers twice (ending with a layer of strawberries). Before serving, top with whipped cream. Overall, I loved the recipe once I had it done. Very tasty and pretty. I think to complete the "lasagna" feel it might have been nice to have toasted coconut sprinkled over the top (to resemble Parmesan cheese).
