Orange Cranberry Gingersnap Trifle

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar and orange juice and cook over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the berries break apart, about 20 minutes, and sauce thickens.
2. In a food processor, combine the heavy cream, cottage cheese, orange zest, honey and vanilla extract until stiff.
3. Divide the pound cake pieces into three portions. Place about ½ on the bottom of a trifle bowl. Then spoon ½ of the cottage cheese mixture over the pound cake. Sprinkle about 4 gingersnap cookie pieces on top of the cottage cheese mixture. Spoon about ½ of the cooled cranberry filling over the gingersnap cookies. Repeat this process two more times, leaving a small handful of pound cake and cottage cheese mixture for the top layer.
4. Top trifle with gingersnap cookie pieces and orange zest for garnish.
