Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade cake Angel food cake
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then slice them into thin pieces. Place the strawberries in a medium bowl, sprinkle with granulated sugar, and stir to coat. Let the strawberries macerate for 10 minutes to release their natural juices.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract (and lemon zest, if using) and mix again.
Step 3
Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until well combined to create a light and fluffy cream layer.
Step 4
Tear the angel food cake into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
Step 5
In a trifle dish, glass bowl, or individual serving glasses, assemble the dessert in layers. Begin with a layer of angel food cake chunks, followed by a layer of the cream mixture, and then a layer of sugared strawberries. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a dollop of the cream mixture and a few strawberry slices on top for garnish.
Step 6
Chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve cold and enjoy this delightful, light dessert!
