Strawberry Angel Dessert

This delightful dessert, similar to a trifle, is a mix of angel food cake cubes, fresh strawberries, sweetened cream cheese and whipped cream topped with raspberry sauce.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 baked angel food cake, cubed
1 (16-ounce) package frozen strawberries
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 (10-ounce) package frozen raspberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup raspberry jam

Cooking Directions:

1. Drain frozen strawberries, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice.
2. In a mixer bowl combine the reserved juice with softened cream cheese, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for 3 minutes.
3. In another bowl beat cream and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
4. Fold half of the cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture along with the strawberries and the angel food cake cubes. Spoon into a serving dish.
