Instructions
-
Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated. You can use an electric mixer for ease or a whisk if you prefer a bit of a workout!
-
Break the Cake: Take your angel food cake and break it into bite-sized pieces. The light texture of the cake allows for easy layering and will soak up some of the flavors beautifully.
-
Combine Strawberries: In a separate bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with a little bit of pie filling gel, mixing gently to coat the berries evenly. This step adds a delightful sweetness and helps to enhance the natural flavors of the strawberries.
-
Layering the Dessert: In a glass serving dish (a trifle bowl works wonderfully), start layering the ingredients. Begin with a layer of the angel food cake pieces, followed by a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture. Top this with a layer of the strawberry mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with the strawberry mixture on top for a stunning presentation.
-
Chill and Serve: Allow the dessert to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting time helps the flavors meld together beautifully and makes for a refreshing treat. When ready to serve, scoop out portions and enjoy the delightful layers of creamy, fruity goodness.
Enjoy!
