Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle

Ok so I got this from my Mother-in-law and to be honest, I haven’t actually made it yet but I have heard from the Curtis fam (tough judges too!) that this is a great recipe!! I am excited to make it myself!

Ingredients:
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar
1 angel food cake, cut into 1 to 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 quarts fresh strawberries or peaches, thickly sliced, or raspberries
3-4 Tablespoons sugarWhole berries for garnish
Mint leaves for garnish

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl blend cream cheese and powdered sugar together. Add the sour cream, vanilla and almond extract. In a small bowl whip the heavy cream, vanilla and sugar until stiff. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cake cubes and coat well.Thickly slice the strawberries, then add the sugar and mix well. Layer into a trifle bowl, starting with a layer of strawberries, then a layer of cake-cream cheese mixture. Continue layering, ending with strawberries. Cover with plastic wrap and chill well before serving. Garnish with mint leaves or whole berries.
