Equipment

  • trifle dish or glass dish
  • mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 angel food cake
  • 2 8 oz cream cheese
  • 3 8 oz cool whip
  • 1 8 oz sour cream
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 5 cups sliced strawberries
  • 2 cups blueberries

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, tear angel food cake into bite sized
    pieces. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium speed. Next
    add in the sour cream, vanilla extract and almond extract and mix well. Add in 2 cups of cool whip and mix on low.
  • Rinse strawberries and blueberries. Pat dry with a paper towel (this helps to not make the dessert too runny) Slice 2 cups of strawberries in quarters. Slice the other 3 cups of strawberries in thin round slices to place around the outside edge of trifle dish.
  • In your trifle dish, start your layers. First add a third of the angel food cake pieces, enough to cover the bottom. Next add your cream cheese mixture, covering all the angel food cake. Add in a layer of blueberries. Then place your bottom layer of thin sliced strawberries around the outside edge of trifle dish.
  • Repeat layers above until trifle dish is almost full. For the top layer, spread 1 cup of whipped topping. Now place your blueberries and quartered strawberries on top to resemble the American flag.
  • Store in refrigerator for 2+ hours until ready to eat!
