So the recipe for the Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle is as follows:
Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle
2 quarts strawberries, sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 8 ounce blocks cream cheese, softened
1 C. sour cream
2 C. powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
1/4 t. almond extract
16 ounce tub whipped topping or 1 pint cream, whipped
1 large angel food or pound cake, torn into pieces
1. Set aside some berries for garnish. Mix rest with sugar and almond extract. Set aside. Mix cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and almond extract. Fold in whipped cream.
2. In a trifle bowl: 1/2 cake, 1/2 berries, 1/2 cream cheese mixture, repeat layers. Garnish with remaining berries. Refrigerate.
What I need to know is does it really require 2 quarts (i.e. 4 pounds!) of strawberries? I bought 2 pounds of strawberries thinking the recipe said 2 pints (a pints a pound the world around) and now realize that I don't have enough... also, I have only 1 regular size pound cake... should I get more strawberries and another pound cake??? My show is tomorrow night and I have to work all day tomorrow... anybody help, please!!!
