1 lb (450 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Instructions

Toss the sliced strawberries with sugar in a bowl and let sit for 15–30 minutes to release their juices and sweeten.
Optional: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the whipped topping to create a creamy filling.
Assemble the cake by either layering or making a trifle:
- Layered: Cut the angel food cake horizontally into 2 or 3 layers and spread the cream mixture and strawberries between layers.
- Trifle style: Cube the cake and layer in a dish alternating cake, cream, and berries until filled.
Top the cake with whipped topping and decorate with whole or sliced strawberries.
Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and set.

Notes

For a richer dessert, add cream cheese to the whipped topping for a creamier filling.

Drizzle strawberry glaze or sauce on top for enhanced flavor.

Fold in fresh mint or lemon zest into the whipped cream for a flavor twist.

Use coconut whipped cream for a dairy-free version.

Add sliced almonds or toasted coconut for extra crunch.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Best served fresh and chilled rather than reheated.
