How to Make Angel Food Cake Dessert

  1. Cube 1 (6-inch) angel food cake into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently mix together 8 ounces of low-fat cream cheese (softened) and 1 cup of low-fat Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
  3. Prepare 1 ½ cups of your favorite fresh fruit (berries, peaches, or a combination are delicious). Chop into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Layer ⅓ of the angel food cake cubes in the bottom of a clear glass bowl or trifle dish.
  5. Spread ½ of the cream cheese and yogurt mixture evenly over the cake layer.
  6. Top with ⅓ of the prepared fruit.
  7. Repeat layers (cake, yogurt mixture, fruit) two more times.
  8. Top with the remaining low-fat Greek yogurt or a dollop of sugar-free whipped topping. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
