Patriotic Berry Trifle

Patriotic Berry Trifle
1 premade angel food cake, cut in 1-inch pieces
2 c. heavy cream
16 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
2/3 c. sugar
1 lemon, zested & juiced
1/4 t. almond extract
2 pints blueberries
2 pints strawberries, sliced

Beat sugar and cream cheese until smooth and light. Add the cream and beat until smooth and the consistency of whipped cream. Add lemon zest, juice, and almond extract.

Arrange half the cake cubes in the bottom of a large clear bowl or trifle dish. Sprinkle evenly with a layer of blueberries. Dollop half the cream mixture over blueberries and gently spread. Top with a layer of strawberries. Layer remaining cake over strawberries, sprinkle with more blueberries, and top with remaining cream. Finish with the remaining strawberries and blueberries (I added raspberries too). Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or more.

Happy 4th of July!
