Ingredients

  • Strawberries:
  • 2 pints fresh strawberries hulled and cubed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 21 oz can strawberry pie filling
  • Vanilla cheesecake mousse:
  • 2 8 oz blocks plain cream cheese (OR Neufchatel cheese) softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar divided use
  • 4 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tsp pure vanilla extract divided use
  • 1 angel food or vanilla pound cake cubed

Instructions

  • To make the strawberry layer: Mix together the cubed strawberries with 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 juiced lemon. Stir well then set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
  • Add the strawberry pie filling to the macerated strawberries, mix well. Set aside.
  • To make the cheesecake mousse: Using an electric mixer, whip together cream cheese with 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 1/2 cups heavy cream. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla. Whip for 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed until creamy, fluffy and combined.
  • In a separate bowl, use the mixer to whip the remaining 2 1/2 cups heavy cream with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whip until stiff peaks form, don't overbeat.
  • Fold 2 cups of the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture by hand. Reserve the remaining whipped cream for the top.
  • To assemble: Alternate layers of cubed cake, strawberries, and vanilla cheesecake mousse in that order. Repeat until all ingredients have been used.
  • Frost the top with the reserved whipped cream and garnish as desired. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight, prior to serving.
  • Store leftovers chilled for up to 4 days.
