This is also good made with peaches and for the 4th of July it is outstanding made with strawberries and blueberries. Very patriotic looking.
Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle
2 pkgs (8 oz) cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/2 pint whipping cream
1 TBS sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 angel food cake, torn into bite sized pieces
2 quarts fresh strawberries, sliced
3 TBS sugar
In large bowl, cream together cream cheese and powdered sugar; add sour cream, vanilla, and almond extract. Set aside. In small deep bowl, whip the cream, vanilla, and sugar. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Add cake pieces and fold lightly, set aside. Combine strawberries and sugar. Layer in large glass bowl (this is a very pretty dessert) starting with strawberries, then cake pieces. Continue layering until finished, 3 or 4 layers is good (depends on you bowl). Finish with strawberries on top and garnish with additional whipped cream if you want. Cover and chill well. Makes 24 servings
I have used low fat cream cheese and sour cream with good results. I have also made this with fresh peaches instead of the strawberries. I use Cool Whip instead of the whipping cream too.
