Recipe

Preparation Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 30 mins


• mix 1 1/2 quarts strawberries and white sugar in a large bowl; gently mash strawberries with a potato masher. cover and refrigerate.
• beat cream cheese in a bowl until light and fluffy; set aside. beat heavy cream in another bowl until soft peaks form; add whipped cream cheese and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. lift your beater or whisk straight up: the cream should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. beat confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract into cream cheese mixture.
• layer about half the angel food cake in a large bowl or trifle. spread a third of the cream cheese mixture over the cake and top with a layer of mashed strawberries. repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of the cream cheese mixture. arrange the remaining 1/2 quart strawberry slices decoratively. chill until ready to serve.
