Another Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle Question!!!! Lol

[KellyTheChef]

I am making the Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle for a picnic tomorrow. I have some fresh strawberries here, but they aren't looking the greatest. So, once I clean them up and take off the bad portions, I won't have too many of the strawberry/sugar/almond extract mixture.

I also have one can of Key Lime Pudding (you know, the pie filling type in a can) and I am wondering what you all think of adding a layer of that. Cake mixture, key lime pudding mixture, cheesecake/cool whip mixture....

Do those flavors go together? Should I just skip the strawberries all together and just make it a Key Lime Cheesecake Trifle?

I don't have any strawberries in the freezer, and I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE STORE.................

Actually Kelly, our Lime berry Mousse Trifle has strawberries & lime together.
I tried it & it was yummy! Maybe layer them in different areas so the colors don't mix together in the trifle bowl cuz that could get ugly lookin.

 

[KellyTheChef]

Doh! I didn't even think about that recipe having lime and strawberries together!! I thought the combo would be good, but I like just about anything!

Sounds yummy, Kelly. Let us know how it goes.BTW, anyone else hearing, "You put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up?" Yeah, didn't think so. Dang, I'm old.

Rae~

I'll sing it with you!! Now you have that song in my head!


BTW, I made it last night and I think it will be good! I ended up cleaning up the strawberries and adding some TS brand Strawberry Rubarb Spread in the mix. Tasted good!

So, I layered:
butter pound cake
key lime pie filling
strawberry mix
cheesecake/cool whip mixture

The pie filling was thick enough I could put the strawberries right on top of it and I don't think they will mix to make a yucky color.

Our picnic is around 2:00, so we will see how everyone likes it!

Oh, I have some TS Rhubarb strawberry Spread, I'll have to try that!
Where do you get Key Lime Pie Filling? All I find around here is key lime curd or key lime juice.
This sounds like such a refreshing dessert. Let us know!

BTW, not to be a dreaded thread hijacker but, has anyone tried a Magic Bullet for smoothies, single quick drinks, etc...? I have one & love it. I don't waste so much fresh fruit anymore. I have a big smoothie maker but don't drag it out for just one drink.

Love the Magic Bullet!

Watch it KG....

It is the Musselman's brand (you know, they make applesauce...)

I found it at a discount store here in Ohio called Marc's Deeper Discounts. Not sure if it's at any big chain stores, I never really looked specifically for it- I saw it and thought "yummy!" and didn't even know what I would use it for when I purchased it!

And BOY was that trifle GOOD!! Everyone loved the lime filling with all of the other layers!

I could eat that cheesecake/cool whip layer with a spoon!
(....um, yeah, I think I actually DID do that... )































....I didn't actually admit that out loud, did I?!?!?!?

I don't have the Magic Bullet, but let me tell you everytime that dang infomercial comes on I sit and stare! I have seen that thing at least 15 times, but still love it! and the worst part is... I have yet to purchase the dang thing!!! Maybe someday...

 

[Chef Endora]

They are in the stores. I bought mine at Target for $59 last year. BJ's has them for around $54 and someone told me they saw them at Target now for $39! I use it almost every day for a smoothie....or the occasional quick mudslide.

I still catch myself looking at the infomercial.

I think it was worth it
