As pretty as a picture, this quick-and-easy dessert from Crystal Edwards of Van Alstyne, Texas, makes any gathering seem special. Busy cooks will appreciate the make-ahead convenience and the use of purchased pound cake. Ingredients:
2 cups cold 2% milk |
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant cheesecake or vanilla pudding mix |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
2 teaspoons almond extract |
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided |
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries |
1 carton (13-1/2 ounces) strawberry glaze |
1 loaf (10-3/4 ounces) frozen pound cake, thawed and cubed |
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Beat in cream cheese and extract until smooth. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping.
2. In another bowl, gently combine strawberries and glaze. In a 3-qt. trifle bowl, layer half of the cake cubes, pudding mixture and strawberry mixture. Repeat layers. Garnish with remaining whipped topping. Refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with almonds just before serving. Yield: 12 servings.
