Strawberry Trifle.

This is the perfect summertime dessert. It really is best to use fresh, peak-of-the-season strawberries. When refrigerated, it makes for a wonderful cooling-off treat.

Strawberry Angel Food Trifle

1 Angel Food cake, broken into bite-sized pieces
1 large vanilla pudding (or two small), mixed as directed with whole milk
8 ounces Cool Whip
Sliced strawberries

Glaze:
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
6 tsp corn starch
4 TBSP dry strawberry Jello

Mix together water, sugar, and corn starch with a whisk, then bring to a boil. When begins to thicken, add Jello powder and take off heat. Stir until completely dissolved, then cool for 20-30 minutes.

In a trifle bowl, layer half of cake, pudding, glaze, fruit, and cool whip. Repeat.

Note: to my knowledge, this is the ONLY way that Mar eats Angel Food cake!
