Ingredients

• 3 cups of mixed fresh berries (like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
• 1 store-bought angel food cake, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups whipped cream, divided (you can use store-bought or homemade)
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

Begin by placing the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat it until it’s smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well until the ingredients are fully combined. Gently fold in one cup of whipped cream until it’s all nicely blended, creating a light and airy cheesecake mixture.

Assemble the Trifle

Now that your cheesecake mixture is ready, it’s time to assemble the trifle! Take a large glass serving bowl or individual trifle cups. Start by placing a layer of angel food cake pieces at the bottom. Follow this with a layer of the cream cheese mixture, spreading it evenly. Then, add a generous layer of your fresh mixed berries on top.

Repeat this layering process until your bowl is filled, finishing with berries on top. Feel free to get creative with the arrangement—making it visually appealing is part of the fun!

Chill and Serve

Once assembled, cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the dessert to set a bit. When you’re ready to serve, garnish with mint leaves for that fresh touch, and enjoy the delightful looks of envy from your guests!
