Equipment

9" Trifle Bowl or similar

Ingredients

Trifle Cream

8 oz cream cheese softened at room temp.
2 cups powdered sugar
½ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 cups heavy cream cold
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice

Cake

1 store bought angel food cake cut into 1 inch cubes

Fruit & Berries

3 ½ cups thick cut fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
15 oz mandarin oranges in juice, drained
1-2 tablespoon Sugar depending on how sweet your fruit is

Instructions

In a bowl, add all the fruit, mix with the sugar and set aside while you make the trifle cream cheesecake mixture.
3 ½ cups thick cut fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
Cut or tear the angel food cake into smaller pieces, approx. ½-1 inch each. I like to divide them into 3 even piles so layering is equal.
In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or a bowl with a handheld mixer, add the cold heavy cream, orange zest and orange juice. whisk until it forms med/firm peaks, this will take a few minutes most likely. Remove to a separate bowl and set aside.
2 cups heavy cream, 1 tablespoon orange juice, 1 teaspoon orange zest
In the now (mostly) empty bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, almond extract. Blend until it is mixed together. Slowly pour in the powdered sugar and blend until it is smooth.
8 oz cream cheese, 2 cups powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon almond extract, ½ cup sour cream
Fold the orange whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Time to layer:
¼ Trifle Cream, ⅓ Cake, ⅓ Fruit Mixture
¼ Trifle Cream, ⅓ Cake, ⅓ Fruit Mixture
¼ Trifle Cream, ⅓ Cake, ⅓ Fruit Mixture
Finish with the Remaining Cream.
1 store bought angel food cake
