Strawberries And Sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes and spread them out on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Set aside to macerate for at least 30 minutes. This will help the strawberries release their juices and become sweeter.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. In another bowl, beat the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  6. To assemble the dessert, layer the baked angel food cake cubes, macerated strawberries, and cream cheese mixture in a large glass trifle dish or individual parfait glasses. Repeat until all ingredients are used up.
  7. Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  8. Before serving, garnish the top with additional sliced strawberries and whipped cream, if desired.
