Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup (60ml) water
- 1 prepared pound cake or angel food cake, cut into cubes
- Fresh strawberries, sliced (for garnish)
- Whipped cream (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until mixed together. Set aside.
- Make the Strawberry Sauce: In a saucepan, mix sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- Assemble the Trifle: Layer half of the cake cubes in a trifle dish. Spoon half of the cheesecake filling over the cake. Then, top with half of the cooled strawberry sauce.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat with the remaining cake, cheesecake filling, and strawberry sauce.
- Garnish and Chill: Top with sliced strawberries and whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or overnight.
- Serve and Enjoy: Scoop into bowls or glasses and enjoy the layers of creamy, fruity goodness!
