For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season strawberries. If you don't have a trifle bowl, you can assemble individual shortcakes in glasses or bowls. To prevent the angel food cake from becoming soggy, assemble the shortcake no more than a few hours before serving. A splash of citrus liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau, can be added to the macerated strawberries for an extra layer of flavor.

01 Step
Recipe View Macerate the Strawberries: In a large bowl, gently combine 1 1/2 quarts of sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of white sugar. Using a potato masher or fork, lightly crush the berries to release their juices. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld. (Time: 30 minutes - 2 hours)
02 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Cheesecake Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Set aside. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the whipped cream cheese to the bowl with the whipped cream and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. Fold in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract until just combined. (Time: 10-15 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Assemble the Shortcake: In a large trifle bowl or serving dish, layer half of the cubed angel food cake. Spread a third of the cheesecake whipped cream evenly over the cake, followed by a layer of the macerated strawberries. Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of the cheesecake whipped cream. (Time: 15 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Garnish and Chill: Arrange the remaining 1/2 quart of fresh strawberry slices decoratively on top of the final layer of cream. Cover the dish and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to soften slightly. (Time: 30 minutes + chilling)

Nov 30, 2024The only thing I changed was adding a bit of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture. It brightened up the flavors even more!
