Berry Cheesecake Trifle Recipe

How to make a 4th of July trifle

Ingredients

2 packages (16 ounces) low fat cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup low fat sour cream
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
12 oz. container low fat frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 angel food cake, torn into bite sized pieces
1 1/2 quarts fresh strawberries, sliced
1 1/2 quarts fresh blueberries
3 tbsp. granulated sugar

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar; add sour cream, vanilla, and almond extract. Fold whipped topping into cream cheese mixture.

In separate mixing bowls, combine the strawberries and blueberries and the granulated sugar.

In large glass bowl, (such as a trifle bowl), layer trifle starting with torn angel food cake pieces, then the strawberries, then the blueberries, and then the cream cheese mixture. Continue layering until finished, 3 or 4 layers is good (depends on size of your bowl). Finish layering trifle with berries on top and garnish with additional whipped topping if desired. Cover and chill well. Garnish with strawberries and blueberries.

Makes approximately 12-18 servings.

This recipe can be made for individuals as well. Simply layer the ingredients the same way in fluted glasses and pass out amongst guests.
