Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Strawberry-flavored Jello mix
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 2 cups Cold water
- 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream, whipped (or 8 oz of whipped topping)
- 10 oz Pound cake, cubed
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Strawberry jam (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the strawberry Jello by dissolving the Jello mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then add 2 cups of cold water. Set aside to cool to room temperature, but do not allow it to set.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping until fully combined to create the cheesecake layer. Set aside.
In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, begin by layering 1/3 of the cubed pound cake at the bottom.
Top the pound cake with 1/3 of the cheesecake mixture, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle a layer of sliced strawberries over the cheesecake mixture (optional: drizzle with a bit of strawberry jam for extra flavor).
Pour 1/3 of the cooled strawberry Jello over the strawberries, allowing it to seep into the layers below.
Repeat the layers (pound cake, cheesecake mixture, strawberries, and Jello) two more times, finishing with strawberries on top for a decorative look.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 4 hours, or until the Jello is fully set.
Serve chilled with an extra dollop of whipped cream on top, if desired. Enjoy!
