Strawberry Shortcake Trifle

While we are on the subject of delicious summer desserts that are served cold, why not take a look at this recipe and see if you would want to give it a try. You can make it for you and your family who will almost certainly enjoy it and be thankful that you love them enough to prepare this fabulous dessert for them.

What You will Need:

• 1 angel food cake (10 in)
• 4-5 cups strawberries (sliced, fresh)
• 1 cup sugar (white)
• 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• Cool whip (16 ounces)
• 2 packages strawberry glaze (1 ounce per package) you can substitute 2 boxes sugar-free strawberry jello mix for the strawberry glaze
• 5-6 strawberries (fresh for garnish)

How To Make It:

First, you need to break up the angel food cake into small pieces.

The next thing you need to do is to cook the strawberry glaze or sugar-free strawberry jello using their directions, and once this done, add the sliced strawberries then set this aside. Now you will need to beat the sugar with the cream cheese folding in the cool whip afterward.

Next, take a large trifle bowl and place half of the angel food cake pieces into the bottom.

This is when you spoon about half of the cream cheese, sugar, cool whip mixture on top of the angel food cake in the bowl. At this point you add approximately half of the strawberry mix on to the cream cheese, cool whip, and sugar mix.

Repeat this procedure for all 3 layers of the dessert. Chill for 3 or 4 hours after garnishing with the whole berries and cool whip. When preparing this dessert a 9x13 pan may be substituted for the trifle bowl.

Look for other cold or frozen jello recipes that you can prepare as a summer treat such as a no bake cheesecake or key lime cheesecake, which will certainly be the perfect addition to a summer meal.
