Yummy! I made this for my bf's parent's Easter lunch/celebration. Everyone who tried it, loved it (my bf & his bro didn't have any... my bf HATES strawberries & his bro doesn't care for sweets). I dislike when people drastically change a recipe then rate it, so pls. forgive me for doing this myself & pls. consider that I am rating this recipe based on the idea itself, the ease of prep. (if I had used all convenience items as directed) & the cream cheese layer (which I didn't tinker w/ other than subbing lt. Cool-whip b/c that's all I had on hand). Here's what I did: a) cubed a homemade pound cake in lieu of angel food cake (I was craving shortcake, hence the sub.), b) prepared supreme strawberry topping by HEISLORD5 as suggested by LucyF (thx. for the idea!) & c) layered all ingredients 2 X's in my trifle bowl in this order: pound cake, strawberries, cream cheese. I'm sure this would have been just as good w/ angel food cake (I will try this next time - using my own recipe of course!). The fact that you can prep. all ingredients from scratch or purchase convenience items if you are short on time makes this recipe VERY appealing to me. I also like the fact that it can be lightened up by sub. Splenda for all or 1/2 of the sugar called for, making your own glaze w/ red. sugar Jell-O and/or subbing lt./ff cream cheese/Cool-whip. Thx. for sharing this wonderful, versatile dessert idea (and did I mention... it makes a TON!!!) :)
