Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Mix strawberries with sugar and lemon juice, then let them release their juices.
- Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Fold whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

- Add a layer of cream mixture followed by a layer of strawberries.
- Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with strawberries on top.
- Chill thoroughly before serving to allow flavors and textures to blend.
Notes
For a softer texture, allow the trifle to chill longer so the cake absorbs more moisture. For more contrast, assemble shortly before serving. Freeze individual portions for up to one month and thaw in the refrigerator. Handle layers gently during assembly to maintain a neat appearance. Customize flavors with blueberries, raspberries, vanilla pudding, or chocolate cake. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
