How to Make Shannon's Strawberry Trifle

  1. Slice 1 pound of fresh strawberries and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener (e.g., granulated sugar, stevia).
  2. Layer slices of 1 (6-inch) sponge cake or pound cake to cover the bottom of a trifle bowl or serving dish.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 1-2 teaspoons of non-calorie sweetener (to taste), and 1 (3.4 ounce) box of instant sugar-free vanilla pudding mix using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread half of the cream cheese pudding mixture evenly over the cake layer.
  5. Top with half of the sweetened strawberries.
  6. Repeat layers: cake, pudding, strawberries.
  7. Cover the trifle and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve chilled. Top with fat-free whipped topping, if desired.
