Ingredients

  • 1 angel food cake or pound cake made or purchased
  • 4 pounds fresh strawberries tops removed
  • ¾ cup champagne
  • 16 oz. mascarpone cold
  • 3 cups Kroger heavy cream cold
  • ½ cup sugar

Instructions

  • Cut cake into 1” cubes. Set aside.
  • Pour champagne into small saucepan and heat over medium heat for 5 minutes or until champagne has reduced to 1/4 cup. Set aside until cool.
  • Cut two cups of strawberries in half. Set aside.
  • Cut two cups of strawberries into chunks. Set aside.
  • If creating strawberry rose for top, create 60 thin vertical strawberry slices.
  • Combine mascarpone, heavy cream, and sugar in bowl of electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk until mixture is thick.

Assemble Trifle

  • Fill the bottom with cake. Create a single row of cake around the edges and pack the bottom layer so the sides don’t budge.

  • Fill the center with strawberry chunks.
  • Use half of the Champagne Mascarpone Whipped Cream and cover the strawberries. Gently push down on the sides to fill the gaps between the strawberries.
  • Repeat steps 7 to 10. Smooth out the whipped cream on top and decorate as desired.
