Wash, hull, and slice the fresh strawberries. Set aside 1 cup of the prettiest slices for topping.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture becomes silky. Fold in half of the whipped cream mixture to create a creamy filling base.
Slice the vanilla pound cake into 1-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, combine the strawberry jam with the lemon juice to create a light glaze.
Begin assembling the dessert: In a medium glass bowl (or trifle dish), layer 1/3 of the pound cake cubes. Spread a layer of the cream cheese filling over the cake cubes, then drizzle with a few spoonfuls of the strawberry glaze. Add a layer of sliced strawberries.
Repeat the layers (cake cubes, cream cheese filling, strawberry glaze, and sliced strawberries) until all the ingredients are used. End with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish with the reserved sliced strawberries and a drizzle of glaze if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set before serving.
