How to Make Elegant Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle
- In a medium bowl, gently toss 1 pint fresh strawberries with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Set aside for at least 15 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces (two 8-ounce packages) low-fat cream cheese with 1/4 cup orange juice and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until completely smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 1 cup whipped heavy cream (or whipped topping) until just combined. Set aside.
- Drain the macerated strawberries, reserving the juice. Set the berries aside.
- In a separate bowl, gently toss 1 pound angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes, with 2 tablespoons of the reserved strawberry juice until lightly moistened.
- Place half of the cake cubes in the bottom of a 4-quart trifle dish or serving bowl.
- Top with one-third of the cream cheese mixture, half of the macerated strawberries, and 1/4 cup grated semi-sweet chocolate.
- Repeat layers: cake, cream cheese mixture, strawberries, and chocolate.
- Top with the remaining cream cheese mixture.
- Garnish with chocolate curls and fresh strawberries. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow flavors to meld and the trifle to chill thoroughly before serving.
