Made a Great New Trifle Tonight!

[dannyzmom]

My son's class had a potluck dinner tonight -- so I made this chicken w/yellow rice dish and served it in my lg dots SA bowl.

Then the trifle...I wanted to save $$ and use some stuff I had on hand...so here's what I did:

1 angel food cake from bakery ($2.69)
1 small tub lite cool whip
1 small container "cream cheese fruit dip" from produce dept
1 container strawberries
sugar
1T strawberry preserves

Cube cake
Mix preserves with fruit dip. Add 2-3 heaping spoons of cool whip and fold together
Slice strawberries and toss with 3-4T of sugar...let sit for a while til the sugar dissolves and creates a syrup.
Layer 1/2 the cake cubes...then 1/2 the strawberries & syrup, then all of the fruit dip/preserves/coolwhip mixture...more cake, more strawberries - and top with cool whip and a fanned strawberry.

It was a HUGE hit and I may have sold a Trifle Bowl!!

Sounds great

Got a picture

A picture is worth a . . . . (I am not sure what it does mean when it comes to food)

I'm liking the idea of only making a "2 layer" trifle....mine are usually 4 layers, and much more tedious than if it was just 1/2 and 1/2!!

Ymmm, that sounds good with the fruit dip layer!! I've been doing my May HWC-strawberry trifle with white cake, strawberry pudding and Coolwhip and fresh berries and it's been a huge hit (and I grew to love it too)! I still have to try the SB Cheesecake trfile too!

I made the cappuccino mouse trifle last night, and I ate too much. I couldn't get to sleep for hours! I finally took a Xanax and slept for 3 hours before getting up for church. Haven't dropped yet, but I'm waiting for my eyes to fall shut...zzzzzzz
