Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 4 cups Pound cake or angel food cake, cubed
- 21 ounces Cherry pie filling
- 1 cup Graham crackers, crushed (optional)
- 0.5 cup Fresh cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined, creating a light and fluffy cheesecake filling.
Begin layering the trifle in your serving dish or trifle bowl. Start with a layer of cubed pound cake or angel food cake as the base.
Spread a layer of the cheesecake mixture over the cake layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Add a layer of cherry pie filling on top of the cheesecake layer, spreading it evenly.
Repeat the layers (cake, cheesecake mixture, cherry pie filling) until the trifle bowl is full, ending with a layer of cherry pie filling on top.
Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the top layer for added crunch, if desired.
Garnish the trifle with fresh cherries for a decorative touch.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving. Serve chilled and enjoy!
