I am sorry in advance if you are tempted to make this. :)
from Every Day with Rachael Ray (they seriously knocked it out of the park with this issue!)
1 lb. strawberries, hulled
Two 12-ounce pound cakes, cut into twelve 1/2-inch slices
4 Tbl. butter, melted
12 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature (I used low-fat or American Neufchatel cheese)
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup strawberry jelly, melted (microwave for about 15 seconds)
Preheat a grill to high. Thread the strawberries onto skewers and place on the grill. Cook, turning frequently, until lightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a bowl (I cheated and just placed them in a foil pan on the grill for a bit longer -- they didn't char, but were still great). Lower the heat to medium. Brush the pound cake slices on both sides with the melted butter. Grill, turning once, until toasted and grill marks appear, about 8 minutes.
Coarsely chop the strawberries. In a medium bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese with the sugar until smooth. Beat in the heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Stir in three-quarters of the chopped strawberries.
Brush the cake slices with the jelly, then spread each with 3 tablespoons of the strawberry cream. Stack them in twos, cream side up, to make 6 double-decker stacks. Dollop each with the remaining strawberry cream and chopped strawberries.
