Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole Angel Food Cake (cut into 1" cubes)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water
- 4 cups strawberries (quartered, and divided)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
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.
