Any tips for making a delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle for a party?

[PCCHeather0506]

I'd like to make this for my party on Friday and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to whether it's better to do the whipping cream or just use cool whip? Also the recipe calls for it to refrigerate...did you? Does it make a difference??

I used cool whip. It was ok. I wasn't able to do 2 full layers because I put too much angel food cake on the bottom. So make sure that you just maybe put 1 single layer of Angel food, strawberry, cream cheese mixture and then repeat. Hopefully then it will work.

I made this for a family gathering. I really enjoyed it, as did most of my family. I would recommend using a smaller angel food cake, maybe a 10 oz. size?, so you can use more filling.

Also, I did use the extra creamy cool whip. I don't think I'd do a whipping cream, as it would take too much time for a demo, but that's just my opinion. Good luck!
