Preparation
STEP 1

Combine softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, powdered sugar and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer starting slow, increasing to a medium speed for about 3 minutes. The mixture should be smooth and firm.

STEP 2

Place half of the pecan pie cubes in the bottom of a 3 qt trifle dish or glass bowl. Spread half of the whipped cream mixture over the pie cubes. Drizzle half the caramel topping over the cream starting with the rim of the dish to get the layered look.

STEP 3

Place another layer of the pecan pie using the remaining half and then top with rest of the whipped cream mixture.

STEP 4

Drizzle the remaining caramel over the cream, sprinkle the toasted pecans and garnish with the 8 maraschino cherries. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
