Welcome to Tasty Tuesdays! I'm so glad you're here!
By the looks of the amount of recipes I have shared here this Summer you would think the Mr. and I had been eating nothing but popsicles by the pool. However accurate that might be, I have somehow found my way into the kitchen and whipped up this perfect Summer-y dessert that requires very little effort and zero oven time.
This one is so delicious though that it probably would've been worth the use of the hot oven. It didn't last in our fridge for a solid 48 hours, we just kept going back for "one more" spoonful. Shameful.
Here's what you'll need…
Pound cake (no shame in store bought here)
8 oz. cream cheese
Strawberries, sweetened
2-8 ozs. Cool Whip or whipped topping
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Start by chopping your strawberries and sweetening them with sugar, depending on how sweet you like your berries. The more sugar you add, and the longer you let this sit, the more "syrup" this will naturally create.
While your berries are syrup-ing cut the pound cake into cubes.
If the crust bothers you just trim that off.
Next use your hand or stand mixer to blend the cream cheese and powdered sugar together. Once that's nice and smooth fold in 8 ozs. of whipped topping. Now it's time to begin assembling. Start with a layer of pound cake, then strawberries, then cream cheese mixture.
Repeat this layer, finishing with the additional whipped topping.
My other favorite trifles? Hands down-

DeleteAlways make trifles when having a big crowd over. Have made so many over the years and they are best to do when you flop a cake, just break it apart and add fix it up.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I absolutely love that idea! I am the queen of flopping cakes every once in awhile so I will definitely remember that!

DeleteI just love making trifles....I actually went out and bought a really nice trifle bowl. This one is simple and sounds so good. I think the cream cheese, powdered sugar and whipped cream make it extra good.
ReplyDeleteAnnMarie, I didn't have one growing up, but got one trifle dish when we got married and quickly purchased a second one, and one for my mom! Thanks for coming by!!
DeleteOne thing I have never made...a trifle! Not sure why either but I am definitely going to change that fact after taking a look at the Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle:) Lynn
ReplyDeleteLynn you definitely should! This is one of my favorites but you can layer practically anything in them and make it look impressive and gorgeous! Even a nice layered salad looks great in a trifle dish!

ReplyDeleteRae, I'm sure your super complicated ones are delicious too!!! Thanks for coming by!
