Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cream Layer
  • 16 oz Cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
For the Berry Layers
  • 2 cups Fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups Fresh blueberries
  • 1 box Angel food cake prepared and cubed

Equipment

  • Large glass bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. In a large glass bowl, layer half of the cubed angel food cake.
  4. Spread half of the cream mixture over the cake.
  5. Layer half of the strawberries and half of the blueberries over the cream.
  6. Repeat the layers: remaining cake, remaining cream mixture, remaining strawberries, and remaining blueberries.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can also use pound cake or vanilla cake instead of angel food cake. For a deeper red color, you can macerate the strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar for 15 minutes.
