Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle
For a dessert that sounds as great as it tastes, this one can’t be beat! Layers of cupcakes rich in delicious cream and sweet strawberries make this treat very appealing.

How do you make Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle? To assemble this layered confection, I recommend starting with cubed cake, then a layer of strawberries and vanilla cheesecake mousse in that order. Depending on the size and depth of the trifle bowl used, the layers could come together differently, so consider the size of the bowl you’re using when separating the ingredients into layers. This strawberry cheesecake trifle is a fun dessert to make and serve and there’s never ever a spoonful leftover.
