Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle!

I recommend starting with cubed cake, then strawberries then vanilla cheesecake mousse in that order. Depending on the size and depth of the bowl used, the layers could come together differently, so consider the size of the bowl you're using when separating the ingredients into layers. This is a fun dessert to make and serve and there's never a spoonful leftover. :)

Ingredients you'll need: Strawberries: 2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and cubed 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 lemon, juiced 1 [21 oz] can strawberry pie filling Vanilla cheesecake mousse: 2 [8] oz cream cheese, softened 16 oz Cool Whip 1 angel food or vanilla pound cake, cubed

Directions: Mix together the cubed strawberries with 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 juiced lemon. Stir well then set aside to macerate while you make the filling. Whip together 2 [8] oz softened cream cheese. Fold 8 oz of Cool Whip into the cheesecake mixture by hand. Reserve the remaining 8 oz Cool Whip for the top of the trifle

Add the strawberry pie filling to the macerated strawberries, mix well. :)

To assemble: alternate layers of cubed cake, strawberries, and vanilla cheesecake mousse. Repeat until all ingredients have been used. Top with the remaining 8 oz Cool Whip and garnish as desired. Store chilled. Yield: 14-16 servings
