Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle Recipe: Easy, Creamy, and Berry-Loaded Dessert
Ingredients
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- 2 (8-oz) packs cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Whipped Cream:
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Assembly:
- 1 angel food cake, broken into pieces
- 4 cups mixed fresh strawberries and raspberries (or any berries of choice)
Preparation
Start by preparing the cream cheese filling. Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature, then place it in a mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the trifle, begin by placing a layer of broken angel food cake pieces at the bottom of your trifle dish or individual dessert glasses. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese filling over the cake, followed by a layer of mixed berries. Next, add a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of whipped cream on top. Garnish with additional berries for a vibrant finish.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy this decadent, berry-loaded dessert that’s perfect for any occasion!
