---|---|
1 | Prepare Strawberries: Wash, stem, and slice the fresh strawberries. A handy tip is to use an egg slicer for evenly sliced berries. |
2 | Combine Ingredients: Place the sliced strawberries in a medium bowl. Juice the navel oranges into the bowl of strawberries using a reamer. |
3 | Sweeten and Flavor: Stir in the Splenda sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and cinnamon into the bowl of strawberries and orange juice. Ensure the berries are coated well with the mixture. Set aside to allow the berries to macerate while you assemble the trifle. |
4 | Layer Angel Food Cake: Tear half of the angel food cake into bite-size pieces and place them at the bottom of the trifle bowl. |
5 | Add Strawberries: Layer half of the prepared strawberries over the angel food cake in the trifle bowl. |
6 | Repeat Layers: Follow by adding the remaining half of the torn angel food cake, and then top it with the remaining strawberries. |
7 | Pour Juice: Pour any remaining juice from the bowl of strawberries evenly over the layers in the trifle bowl. |
8 | Top with Cool Whip: Generously spread the fat-free cool whip over the top layer of strawberries, creating a luscious finish. |
9 | Chill and Serve: Place the trifle in the refrigerator and chill until ready to serve. |
10 | Garnish (Optional): For an elegant touch, garnish the top of the cool whip with a fan of strawberries. To create the fan, slice two or three strawberries using the egg slicer, leaving them attached at the stem. Carefully spread out the slices to form a fan shape. |
11 | Enjoy: Serve the sinless strawberry trifle to delight your guests with its refreshing flavors and light, guilt-free indulgence. |
