Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle Tips

Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect strawberry cheesecake trifle:

Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If you can’t find fresh berries, you can use frozen ones, but thaw them before using them.
Be sure to use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and texture.
Whip the cream until it’s stiff before adding it to the trifle. This will help it stay in place and not sink to the bottom.
Allow the trifle to sit for at least an hour before serving so that the flavors have time to meld.

Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle Variations

If you’re looking for a different twist on this classic dessert, try one of these variations:

Use blueberries or raspberries instead of strawberries.
Add a layer of graham crackers or shortbread cookies for a little crunch.
Substitute vanilla extract for the almond extract.
Stir in a bit of strawberry jam for extra strawberry flavor.
