Instructions

Prep your ingredients

  • Remove the 10 best-looking strawberries from the pint and set them aside.
  • Take all the remaining strawberries, cut off the tops, and halve them. Take 1/2 of the halved strawberries and set them aside.
  • Place the remaining halved strawberries in a bowl. Toss in the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Take the angel food cake and cut it into equal-sized cubes.

Build the trifle

  • Start with the cubed angel food cake at the bottom of the trifle dish. Cover with a small layer of whipped topping - just enough to completely cover the cake.
  • Take the healed strawberries that weren't covered in sugar and line the edges of the trifle dish.
  • In the center of the halved strawberries and on top of the whipped cream topping, place half of the macerated strawberries, plus some of the accumulated juice.
  • Top the strawberries with another layer of whipped topping and spread the rest of the angel food cake over the top. Spread a thin layer of whipped topping over the cake.
  • Repeat another strawberry layer by lining the trifle dish with fresh strawberries and placing the remaining macerated strawberries in the middle with all the juices.
  • Top with whipped topping again, this time building it up higher, then place the 10 best-looking strawberries on top for decoration.
