Strawberry Amaretto Trifle Recipes

INDIVIDUAL STRAWBERRY TRIFLES

Steps:

• For the marinated strawberries: In a small, shallow casserole dish, toss the strawberries with the vinegar and let stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. After the strawberries have marinated, check for sweetness, adding sugar if desired.
• For the whipped cream: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, whisk the cream to soft peaks. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Whip to stiff peaks. Set aside.
• For the trifle: Using a serrated knife, slice the pound cake lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. You will only need four slices. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out circles from each cake slice. Line up two highball glasses and place one cake circle in the bottom of each. Brush the cakes with amaretto liqueur. Add 2 tablespoons of marinated strawberries and spread evenly. Using a different tablespoon, add a large dollop of whipped cream and spread evenly. Add a second layer of cake, pressing down lightly. Brush with amaretto liqueur. Add 2 tablespoons of marinated strawberries and spread evenly. Top with a large dollop of whipped cream, spreading evenly. Use the remaining cake, cream and strawberries to create a more humble trifle dish.
• Cover the trifles with plastic wrap and refrigerate for impromptu indulgence, keeping in mind that it will store for up to 2 days.
• To serve, remove and discard the plastic wrap. Grate some amaretto cookie on top of the trifles and sprinkle with Demerara sugar.

STRAWBERRY AMARETTO TRIFLE

Steps:

• 1. Cube angel food cake into 1" cubes (carefully, with a sharp serrated knife.) 2. Prep pudding/custard and let set in fridge. 3. Whisk together jam, extract, and Italian soda, toss in strawberries and almonds. 4. Crush cookies into crumbles (I used a meat tenderizer and a ziplock baggie.) 5. Using a hand mixer, (or a whisk if you want a good workout) beat together the cream cheese and the whipped topping. 6. In a large clear glass bowl, layer as follows: berries, cake & cookie crumbles, custard, cream cheese whip. Repeat until bowl is full, using berries as your top layer, spoon a small dollop of custard in the middle and sprinkle with the remaining cookie crumbles, top with a pretty sliced strawberry, if desired. 7. Let set in fridge for at least half an hour before serving, you might need to use a skewer or a chopstick to let out air pockets as the trifle settles. 8. Enjoy!

AMARETTO STRAWBERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• Wash and cut strawberries in half in a bowl. Add Amaretto and 3 tablespoons of the sugar and allow the mixture to sit.
• Cream together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Set aside.
• Whip the cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Fold into the cream cheese mixture.
• Tear angel food cake into bite-size pieces into the cream cheese and whipping cream mixture.
• Layer in a large bowl - if you have a trifle-style bowl or other clear glass bowl, the layers look great in it. Start with the berry mixture as the bottom layer and end with the berries.
• Chill before serving.
