Description
This strawberry cheesecake cream cheese trifle layers juicy strawberries, pound cake, whipped cream, and sweetened cream cheese for a stunning no-bake dessert.
Ingredients
1 pound cake or angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
Optional: 1/4 cup strawberry preserves or jam
Instructions
Toss sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and let sit for 10–15 minutes to release juices.
Beat cream cheese with 1/3 cup powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light cheesecake filling.
In a trifle dish, layer pound cake cubes, cheesecake filling, and strawberries with juice.
Repeat the layers until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of whipped topping and fresh strawberries.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Use slightly dry or toasted cake for best texture. For more strawberry flavor, layer in strawberry preserves. Can be made 1 day in advance. Individual servings in jars also work beautifully for parties.
