Strawberry Trifle

[donna]

A recipe using my favorite fruit, strawberries. This older one from my Aunt's family.

Strawberry Trifle

2 quarts fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups fresh whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon amaretto or almond flavoring
1 whole prepared angel cake
8 0z. softened cream cheese
additional 1 tablespoon amaretto

Slice strawberries and toss in large bowl with sugar and amaretto. Set aside in refrigerator overnight or at least 4 hours.

Pour 2 cups fresh, cold whipping cream into large bowl and begin beating into peaks. Gradually add powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon amaretto. Whip to stiff peaks. On low speed of mixer, gradually add softened cream cheese. Set aside.

Tear prepared angel food cake into bite sized pieces. Using a trifle bowl, begin layering strawberries, whipped cream mixture and angel food cake evenly, starting with the strawberries. Sprinkle with cinnamon to garnish. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours before serving.

Makes an elegant and delicious dessert.

I make "Strawberry Trifle" but without the amaretto or almond flavoring. Sounds like it would be tasty. Next time I make it I'll try to add these two, that is if spring ever decides to make an entrance.

I thought we had a thread or two on trifles.

There are still strawberries to buy at our grocery. This makes a special dessert to have during these difficult times.
