Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Angel Food Cake (cut into 1" cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water
  • 4 cups strawberries (quartered, and divided)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt


Instructions

  1. Combine cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl; set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of quartered strawberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Boil and then reduce to low heat. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add remaining strawberries and cook 1 minute more until thickened. Remove from heat.
  3. In a stand mixer, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until medium peaks form. Incorporate Greek yogurt and mix well.
  4. Layer 1/3 of the angel food cake cubes in a trifle dish. Top with 1/3 of the whipped cream and 1/3 to 1/2 of the strawberry sauce. Repeat two more times and finish with the remaining strawberry sauce and fresh strawberries on top.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Best enjoyed the same day or within 6-8 hours.

Notes

For extra flavor, use ripe, fresh strawberries.
You can make the strawberry sauce a day in advance.
Chill the trifle overnight for the best texture and flavor.
