Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle

So........ this is the first time I have ever made a trifle.
It was totally not as hard as I thought It would be.
I'm kind of proud of myself!
Not the prettiest, without all the garnish on top.........but who needs that!
It's the taste that counts!!







Ingredients:

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened (I used Nuefachel)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream (I used light)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 tub (12 oz) Cool Whip, thawed (I used light)
4 tablespoons sugar
1 angel food cake, torn into bite-size pieces
2 bags frozen strawberries (I used 3 tubs fresh)

Method:
1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy; add sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and the almond extract; set aside.
2. Fold the cool whip into the cream cheese mixture.
3. Gently stir in cake pieces; set aside.
4. Combine strawberries and sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
5. Layer in a large glass bowl, with strawberries on the bottom, and end with cream cheese mix.
6. Top with thin layer of cool whip.
7. Cover with plastic wrap; and chill several hours.
