Description

This delightful Strawberry Shortcake Trifle with Angel Food Cake offers layers of sweet strawberries, fluffy whipped cream, and light cake. It’s a simple, yet mouthwatering dessert everyone will love, perfect for parties or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Angel Food Cake (cut into 1 inch cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water
  • 4 cups strawberries (quartered, and divided)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and cold water; set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of quartered strawberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly until thickened.
  4. Add the remaining 2 cups of strawberries and cook for an additional minute before removing from heat.
  5. In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium speed until medium peaks form.
  6. Add Greek yogurt to the whipped cream and mix to combine.
  7. In a trifle dish, layer 1/3 of angel food cake cubes at the bottom, followed by 1/3 of the Greek yogurt whipped cream, then spread 1/3 to 1/2 of the strawberry sauce over it.
  8. Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a little strawberry sauce on top; optionally add sliced fresh strawberries before serving.
  9. Chill the trifle in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving, best enjoyed on the same day.

Notes

For best results, serve the trifle on the same day it is prepared.
You can use store-bought angel food cake to save time.
Feel free to adjust the amount of strawberries based on your preference.
