Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle Tips
Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect strawberry cheesecake trifle:

- 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.
