Strawberry Angel Trifle

Submitted by MSnow

"People always ask for the recipe for this when I make this wonderful strawberry dessert. It makes a beautiful presentation and it's very easy to put together. You can use low fat cream cheese and low fat whipped topping if you're watching calories."

ingredients

2. Add sugar to taste.
3. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
4. Cream sugar and cream cheese.
5. Add whipped topping and beat until light and fluffy.
6. Drain about 3/4 of the liquid produced from soaking the berries; pour the glaze over and stir.
7. Slice cake into 2-inch pieces.
8. Fill a trifle dish or 9-inch deep glass bowl, with layers of the cake, strawberries and then the cream cheese mixture.
9. Garnish with reserved strawberries.

This got absolute rave reviews and I'm wishing now I had taken a picture of it! Used low fat cream cheese, cool whip free, and made my own glaze out of 1/4 c white sugar, 1/4 c cornstarch - mixed well together and a cup of water. Brought it to a boil, let it thicken slightly and then added some mashed strawberries. It didn't have the color of store bought but it tasted great at about 1/4 the price. Besides that, it is a fabulous recipe. Easy to do, beautiful presentation and Yummy to boot! Thanks!

This recipe has been quite a hit at my office functions. I have used thawed strawberries from the freezer and drained off the liquid. An extra container of glaze will help alleviate the additional juice remaining after draining is first done. The presentation is affected by the strawberry mix liquidity but the taste is still excellent.

Strikingly beautiful and just as good in the taste department. We had this as our Christmas dessert, and it was gone at the end of the meal! I can't imagine it can be any better and this is one dessert that is a Hall of Famer!
