Strawberry cheesecake Trifle
Strawberry cheese trifle is a delightful dessert that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of fresh strawberries with the creamy richness of cheese and whipped cream. It is typically made by layering pieces of sponge cake or ladyfingers, strawberries, cream cheese, and whipped cream in a trifle bowl.
Ingredients :
Strawberries :
• 2 pints fresh strawberries hulled and cubed
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 lemon juiced
• 1 21 oz can strawberry pie filling
Vanilla cheesecake mousse :
• 2 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 2 cup powdered sugar divided
• 4 cup heavy cream divided
• 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 angel food or vanilla pound cake cubed
Instructions :
1 – Mix together the cubed strawberries with ⅓ cup granulated sugar and 1 juiced lemon. Stir well then set aside to macerate while you make the filling.
2 – Whip together 2 [8] oz softened cream cheese with 1 ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 ½ cup heavy cream. Add 1 Tbsp pure vanilla. Whip for 2-3 minutes until creamy, fluffy and combined. In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 2 ½ cup heavy cream with ½ cup powdered sugar, more if desired. Whip until stiff peaks form.
3 – Fold 2 cup of the whipped sweetened fresh cream into the cheesecake mixture by hand. Reserve the remaining whipped sweetened fresh cream for the top of the trifle.
