Print Recipe
- 1 prepared angel food cake or pound cake
- 2 (16oz) (483g) cartons strawberries, washed and sliced
- 2 (6oz) (170g) cartons blueberries, washed
- 2 (6oz) (170g) cartons raspberries, washed
COCONUT CREAM CHEESE LAYER:
- 2 cups (475ml) heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup (75g) powdered sugar
- 2 (8oz) (226g) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 (13.5 floz) (399ml) can coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
COCONUT CHEESECAKE LAYER:
In a large bowl beat the whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks; set aside.
In another large bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the coconut milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Fold in whipped cream.
ASSEMBLY:
Spread ⅓ of the coconut cheesecake in the bottom of a large trifle bowl. Top with ⅓ of the mixed berries and ½ of the cubed cake. Spread another ⅓ of the cheesecake, ⅓ of the berries, and the remaining cubed cake. Top with remaining cheesecake and berries. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- MAKE-AHEAD: This can be made a day in advance. Angel food cake will soak up more of the cheesecake filling and become soft over time. When making this in advance I actually prep all the layers and store them separately and then assemble just before taking it to the party or serving.
- You can also make this in small mason jars or plastic cups for ready to grab individual servings.
- The coconut flavor is not very strong in this trifle but if you would like you can omit the coconut milk and replace it with 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- You can also sprinkle coconut flakes on top of the cheesecake layer for more coconut flavor.
