Instructions

Prepare the strawberry sauce by combining the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl; set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of quartered strawberries, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and lemon juice over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low and stir in the cornstarch slurry; continue cooking for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
Add the remaining 2 cups of strawberries and cook for 1 more minute until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Next, make the Greek yogurt whipped cream by beating together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until medium peaks form.
Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until well combined.
To assemble the trifle, layer 1/3 of the angel food cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle dish, add 1/3 of the Greek yogurt whipped cream over the cake, and then 1/3 of the strawberry sauce. Repeat this process two more times.
Top the final layer with any remaining strawberry sauce and optionally fresh sliced strawberries just before serving.
Chill the trifle in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Best enjoyed the same day it is made or within 6-8 hours of preparation.
