How to Make Festive Strawberry Trifle

  1. Arrange a layer of ladyfingers (or 1 cup cubed chocolate pound cake) in the bottom of a large glass trifle bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of amaretto.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, prepare 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding according to package directions. Gently fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  4. Divide the cream cheese mixture in half. Spread half of the mixture over the ladyfingers/cake layer.
  5. Decorate with 1 cup fresh strawberry halves and 1/4 cup sliced almonds. Top with 1 cup whipped cream.
  6. Repeat layers: ladyfingers/cake, remaining cream cheese mixture, strawberries, and whipped cream.
  7. Garnish the top with chocolate curls.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
  9. Optional: Add a sprinkle of amaretto to each cake layer
