It's Always Dessert Time

Right now at the grocery store, there are three packs of strawberries for $5! This is exactly the kind of deal I look for to base a meal (or dessert!) around. I got my first only acceptance into dental school relatively recently, and I wanted to celebrate with some neighbors. After looking around for various recipes, this was the somewhat trifle based recipe I found. I halved the original recipe and instead of serving in one big dish, I put it into martini glasses! Sometimes presentation is all you need to make a really, really good dessert into an awesome one.

So here goes!

Amazing Strawberry Deliciousness
Ingredients:
1/2 an angel food cake, torn into pieces (also on sale, just my day!)
1 8 oz. package of light cream cheese
4 oz. frozen light cool-whip, thawed (that's half of a container)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 quart of strawberries, tops removed and slivered
1 can strawberry glaze

Directions:
1.)Layer the pieces of the angel food cake onto the bottom of whatever dish/glasses you decide to serve it in.

2.) Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and until really light and fluffy. Fold in the cool whip. Spread mixture over the angel food cake.

3.) In a bowl, combine strawberries and glaze. You really only need enough glaze to completely coat the strawberries. Spread over cream cheese layer. Chill until serving.

Serves 6-8, depending on serving size. 

That's all there is to it! For such an easy recipe, it was absolutely delicious and not super expensive. A nice mix up from the ordinary brownies or cookies. Everyone raved- always my goal! Maybe an idea for your next dinner party??

PS...Half of a leftover angel food cake for breakfast? I'll take it!
