Layers of tender angel food cake, creamy sweetened cream cheese mixture, and glazed fresh strawberries come together to create a delightful chilled dessert that is both visually appealing and delicious.

Ingredients

Base

  • 1 (10 inch) angel food cake

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Topping

  • 1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 (18 ounce) jar strawberry glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients to ensure everything is ready for assembly.
  2. Prepare Cake Base: Crumble or cut the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces and arrange them evenly in a 9x13-inch dish to form the base layer.
  3. Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully combined.
  4. Assemble Layers: Press down the cake pieces slightly to form a compact layer. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake layer.
  5. Prepare Strawberry Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the sliced fresh strawberries with the strawberry glaze, stirring gently until the strawberries are evenly coated with glaze.
  6. Finish Assembly: Spread the glazed strawberries over the cream cheese layer carefully.
  7. Chill: Cover and refrigerate the dessert until serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Notes

  • You can layer this dessert in a trifle dish for a more decorative presentation or create individual portions in serving cups.
  • For best results, use fresh strawberries and allow the whipped topping to thaw completely before mixing.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
