100 Reviews of Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle

I served this for an Easter luncheon and it drew raves. Everyone really liked it alot. It combines the flavors of strawberry shortcake and a mild cheesecake-like taste. I would make a few changes when I make it again. I added 8ozs of cool whip this time (not a cup) and would increase it next time to get a fluffier filling. Mine was a bit dry. Maybe I had a larger cake? I also think I will start the layering next time with the cake mixture instead of the strawberries. I also don't think it serves anywhere near 24. If you need it to set out SMALL bowls. This is a definite repeat and easy to prepare. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

This is awesome! I've given out the recipe to about 5 people so far who tasted it! It's creamy, refreshing, light and delicious and looks so pretty in the trifle bowl! I can't get over how creamy the sour cream, cream cheese and cool whip are together and with the chunks of angel food cake and strawberries - it's pure heaven!! I made it exactly as the recipe says except for adding an 8 ounce container of Cool Whip rather than 1 cup (which since 1 cup is also 8 ounces could it be volume vs. weight - which I never did understand!) I will make this often! Thanks for sharing such an awesome recipe!!

I wanted a fancy dessert for Christmas and with strawberries at a premium here, I hoped that I had picked a great recipe. This dessert is so yummy, if I wasn't stuffed from dinner I would have eaten half of the dish myself! I made as posted except I did not add sugar to the straberries since the there is plenty of sugar in the cake/cheese mixture. Thanks for posting a recipe that I hope more cooks will try! It's a keeper!

This is the best tasting, easy, dessert I've made in a long time. I brought it to a picnic, and everyone enjoyed it - kids and adults. I made one for my boss's birthday, and brought it to work and it was devoured!! Actually, it was too good, everyone thinks I was kissing her butt!

This was really really good! I used reduced fat cream cheese, splenda, cool whip lite and sugar free angel food cake to make a lower calorie version and it turned out awesome! The angelfood cake kind of melts into the cream cheese filling which truly gives the trifle a cheesecake-like texture without all the fuss of making and baking one. We gobbled this dessert up and thoroughly enjoyed this definite make-again dessert.

Very delicious! I'll make this again. One of my guests asked for the recipe. I didn't have Cool Whip, so I did a last-minute substitution of vanilla ice cream. I guess it worked because the end result tasted great. Next time I'll make sure I have Cool Whip, though.

Delicious! I used frozen strawberries for half of the fresh strawberries and only 1-1/2 cups of powdered sugar. Everyone loved it. The bottom layer was soggy the next day (still tasty, though) but perfect the first day. I made a butter cake from a mix and used that instead of the angel food cake. I will definitely make this again!

Great recipe, family fought over the remains. I used whipping crean instead of Coolwhip. Thank you will be making this again.

I have been making this for years and it is one of my favorites! It's quick and easy to make and although it is a bit pricey, it is a big hit with the family and with company. Make sure to layer it in a trifle bowl for show.

Made this for father's day, everyone loved it! Used low fat cream cheese and lite sour cream!
