Description

A delightful dessert combining creamy cheesecake, fresh strawberries, and fluffy cake in a beautiful layered presentation, perfect for gatherings.


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 (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently over medium heat until the strawberries start to release their juices, about 3-5 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the saucepan and stir until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until well combined, creating a light and fluffy cheesecake filling.
  3. Assemble the Trifle: In a trifle dish or glass serving bowl, start layering the ingredients. Begin with a layer of cheesecake filling, followed by a layer of strawberry sauce. Add a layer of cake (store-bought or homemade) cut into cubes. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the dish, finishing with a layer of cheesecake filling and a drizzle of strawberry sauce.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the trifle and refrigerate for at least 120 minutes or until ready to serve. Before serving, you can garnish with additional fresh strawberries or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

This dessert is best enjoyed within the first day or two for optimal taste and texture. Garnish with fresh fruit or whipped cream before serving.
