Layered Raspberry Almond Cream

4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
2 Tbsp. almond-flavored liqueur, such as amaretto
1/2 C. superfine sugar
1/2 C. chilled heavy whipping cream
2 C. fresh raspberries
4 small mint sprigs, for garnish

Have 4 wineglasses or glass dessert cups at hand.
Combine the cream cheese, liqueur, and sugar in a mixing bowl on medium-high speed until all visible lumps have disappeared.
Add the cream, and start beating on low speed, then on high, until stiff peaks form.
Distribute 1 C. of the raspberries among the glasses, then distribute 2/3 of the almond cream so that it covers the berries in each portion.
Distribute remaining berries evenly among the glasses. Spoon equal amounts of the remaining cream on top of each portion, then garnish with a mint sprig.
