🛒 Ingredients
🍰 For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
🍓 For the Layers:
- 1 pound (450g) fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 tbsp sugar (to sweeten berries)
- 1 pre-baked pound cake or sponge cake, cubed
- Optional: strawberry jam or coulis for extra flavor
🍧 For Garnish:
- Crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers
- Whole strawberries
- Mint leaves
🧁 Instructions & Method
Step 1: Prep the berries
In a bowl, mix sliced strawberries with 1 tbsp of sugar. Let them sit for 10–15 minutes to release their natural juices.
Step 2: Make the cheesecake cream
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and smooth.
Step 3: Layer the trifle
In a large glass trifle bowl (or individual cups), layer as follows:
- A layer of cake cubes
- A thick layer of cheesecake cream
- A spoonful of strawberries (with their juice)
- Optional: drizzle of jam or coulis
- Repeat layers until you reach the top
Top with whipped cream, crushed graham crackers, whole berries, and a sprig of mint.
Step 4: Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better).
Serve chilled, and prepare for compliments.
📜 History & Formation
The trifle dates back to 16th-century England, originally made with custard and stale cake soaked in alcohol. Over the years, it evolved into the creamy, fruity, layered dessert we know today.
The cheesecake twist? That’s a modern American innovation — blending the elegance of British tradition with the richness of New York-style cheesecake.
Strawberries entered the scene as the ultimate symbol of summer, sweetness, and celebration.
Now? This dessert is a favorite at Easter tables, Mother’s Day brunches, potlucks, weddings, anniversaries, and — let’s be honest — random Tuesdays when you just need something sweet.
