This is a quick walkthrough of how easy it is to make trifle with angel food cake.
Step 1: Place two cups of strawberries into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Strain strawberry liquid through a sieve to remove any seeds. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, mix heavy cream on medium – high speed for 3-4 minutes.
Pause to scrape the sides and add in the powdered sugar.
Continue to mix on high for another minute.
Step 3: Leave about ½ cup of the whipped cream in the mixing bowl and transfer the rest into a piping bag or smaller bowl and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step 4: In the same mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Mix on medium-high speed for 1 – 2 minutes.
Step 5: Pause to scrape the sides.
Add the white sugar and ½ cup of the strawberry liquid and continue to mix for another 1 – 2 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl or piping bag.
Step 6: Crumble the angel food cake into small pieces and slice the remaining 1 cup of strawberries to use as decorations for the sides of the cups.
Step 7: To assemble, place a layer of angel food cake on the bottom.
Line the outside with sliced strawberries and place the strawberry cream cheese in the middle.
Step 8: Add another layer of angel food cake, then a lawyer of whipped cream and a layer of blueberries.
Repeat the layers again – angel food cake, line with strawberries, fill the center with cream cheese and top with whipped cream.
Step 9: Place in the refrigerator until ready to eat and enjoy!
