My Mom's Strawberry Trifle Recipe

Actually, I think this was a recipe that I use to make and I gave it to my mom! Ha! I completely forgot about it and how light and yummy it is.  When Leigh suggested I make something with strawberries - since it's strawberry season here in Louisiana - for our Life Group party on Friday night, I called my mom and asked her for "my" recipe. Since everyone loved it - and we had it again on Easter Sunday - I thought I would share it here today on my blog.

Strawberry Trifle

1 prepared angel food cake
2 cups of sliced strawberries
1 14 oz. container of strawberry glaze
8 oz. cream cheese, softened (use Philadelphia only)
1 12 oz. container of Cool Whip
1/2 to 3/4 cup of Splenda

Take 2-4 slices of the cake and tear into pieces and line bottom of trifle bowl.  With mixer, cream softened cream cheese and Splenda. With a large spatula, fold in the Cool Whip. In a separate bowl, combine strawberries and glaze. Spread about 1/2 of the strawberry mixture on top of the angel food cake.  Then on top of that, spread 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture.  Put another layer of the torn angel food cake; then the rest of the strawberry mixture then the cream cheese mixture (end with cream cheese mixture).  Can garnish with strawberry halves.  Chill for about an hour or two.  Sometimes, I make 1/2 of the strawberry and cream cheese mixtures to have extra for layering.

Enjoy!
