Summer Trifle - For July 4th


Ingredients:
1 Angel Food Cake
1 large container of Cool Whip
1 quart of blueberries
1 quart of strawberries
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 eight-ounce package of cream cheese

Directions:

  • Cut Angel Food Cake into bite-sized pieces and spread a layer in the bottom of a large glass bowl.
  • Wash and slice strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
  • Wash and drain blueberries.
  • Add a layer of berries atop the cake pieces.
  • Mix cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk.  Pour a coating of this mixture atop cake and berries.
  • Spread on a scant layer of whipped topping.
  • Top with two more rounds of cake, berries, milk/cheese mixture, and topping layers.
  • Spread generous layer of whipped topping as last layer.
  • Garnish with berries.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and chill till ready to serve.

For the July 4th garnish, I cut recipe cards in half lengthwise and folded them in half.  Then, set the cards on edge with folds to outside forming a star shape.  I placed the blueberries outside the cards and strawberries inside the cards.  Then, removed the cards just before serving.
