Freebie--could be anything

food of the week:

Strawberry season! This is the shortcake I made for Baci's birthday yesterday (any excuse to use my trifle bowl). The recipe claimed "Prep Time: 5 min, Cook Time: 5 min." Paula Dean must have a lot of help in her kitchen because it took me an hour to make and assemble this. But OHHHHH, was it worth it.

We can add this cake to my list of "Foods I Wish I Didn't Know About"

Strawberry Shortcake
Recipe courtesy foodtv.com

Ingredients:
1 large angel food cake

For the custard:
1 (8oz) package cream cheese, softened (you can use lite)
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

For the glaze:
1 c. sugar
3 Tbs cornstarch
3 Tbs strawberry gelatin (Jell-O)
1 c. water
2 c. fresh strawberries, cut in 1/2 (if berries are extra large, they can be cut into quarters -- save a few uncut for garnish)

Slice cake, using a serrated knife, horizontally into 3 equal layers.

Mix together cream cheese, condensed milk, and whipped topping in a bowl; set aside.

In a medium saucepan, stir together sugar, cornstarch, and gelatin; add water. Cook stirring over medium heat until thick. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Fold in strawberries.

Place 1 layer of cake in a large clear bowl. Top with a layer of glaze, followed by a layer of custard mixture. Repeat layering in this order for remaining cake, glaze and custard. Top cake with 3 whole fresh strawberries. 10 to 12 servings
