This recipe and light dessert comes straight from my Aunt Linda's kitchen. Every holiday we spend at her house is always filled with amazing food. I've lightened her version up just slightly by using sugar- free versions of things. If that is not your style than go for the gusto with the real deal.
Strawberry Trifle
by Aunt Linda
1 angel food cake
2 lbs strawberries
1 large pkg. vanilla instant pudding, sugar-free
skim milk
1 tsp almond extract
1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, lite or sugar-free
1 Tb almond slices
Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Tear angel food cake into pieces about 2x2inches. Slice strawberries. Prepare vanilla pudding using skim milk according to directions on box. Fold in almond extract and whipped topping. Using a trifle bowl or any clear glass bowl, layer 1/4 of almond cream mixture, 1/3 of angel food cake, and 1/3 strawberries. Continue the layers ending with the almond cream mixture. Top with sliced almonds.
Top each serving with chocolate chips, if desired.
For 16 servings, it runs at 135 calories per serving (sans chocolate chips).

YOU ARE KIDDING ME!!! Okay, I can't believe how fabulous and low cal that dessert is. Now I know what to make for a family function. :) My mother in law would LOVE this.
OH BABY!
We LOVE Trifle. We have it every couple of months. I have a killer choclate version that should be avoided. This fruit version I've done before and it is excellent!
OMGosh..I was just about to remind you about this recipe. I made it for Dad's birthday and love it because everyone leaves the cake & ice cream alone and dives right into this lo-cal bad boy. I don't even use the choco chips and it is still a huge hit.
I think your Trifle recipe is missing from your main recipe link.
Thx Alicia -- Those slip by me all the time! I just fixed it :)
I'm sure you have plenty of things going on right now. I'm having a baby shower for my sister in law on Saturday and I wanted to make something I could eat. I was looking for this recipe, so that's the only reason I noticed it not on your recipe links.
