Splendid and delicious!! Prep is very fast and since this desert was to be served with a few kids present I sweetened strawberries-and for my taste I added a bit more sugar to the whipped mixture, however, it could be made with exact measurements and still be very tasty! I used a clear plastic salad bowl with clear carving/designs and it layered and looked great!! Guests loved it and asked for its recipe.

I ended up going ahead and making this with Cool Whip folded in instead of the heavy cream, and it turned out perfect! Everybody loved this dish. I could have eaten the lemon/cream cheese/whipped cream mixture on its own it tasted so good. The presentation is perfect too for a summer holiday get together. I will be making this again next summer for sure!

If you haven't tried this yet you must! One of the most requested recipies I've made for friends. And a beautiful presentation if you have a triffle dish. People love it no matter what it is served in. For the person with the custard problem. Are you really using butter? If so, check the recipe. Should be cream cheese. It's worth trying again.

Fun to make! Tasted like heaven! ONE THING I DID, thinly sliced star fruit around one of the layers against the glass to go with the patriotic theme! I will make this again and again!

Seems like no one has a problem with making the custard? I've made this trifle three times already and the custard has never been successful! There was once I made the custard three times!!! I love this recipe but the most disappointing part is making the custard! I follow the recipe to a tee for the custard but it never works. I thought it might be too much juice so I only used juice of 2 lemons today. But still doesn't come out right. The volume does double when I'm whisking it but after refrigeration, only the top comes out fluffy and semi-thick; never custard-like. While the bottom is liquidy. I do whisk in butter too just as the recipe calls. So I just dont know what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions or tips? After making fresh whipped cream, I add mascarpone to the mixture.

Fantastic!!! Made this for the 4th. of July. Huge hit! The almond extract was a nice "twist" in the recipe. Used a little more sugar than called for. Looked awesome. Easy to make but tastes like it took a while. For sure will make again. Thanks Sunny ;-

Absolutely Delicious! I doubled the fruit and since I only had 3 pkgs of cream cheese, I used that plus 3 cups of heavy cream whipped to soft peaks and then added to the cream cheese mixture. I also added a bit more sugar for a slightly sweet taste. It was light, heavy on the fruit and made 2 smaller trifle bowls....most of which was gone with 2-3 servings each because it was sooooo good!

This was so delicious and looked absolutely wonderful! I made it for the 4th of July and everyone absolutely loved it. I will definitely be making this again. I would recommend tasting the cream cheese mixture before serving it just to see if you would like it sweeter. I know I added about 1/4 cup more and it tasted just right.

The trifle was beautiful and tasty. I think the whipping cream/cream cheese could have been sweetened a bit or the trifle might have been better with just plain whipped cream. I also might consider sweetening the strawberries slightly. I liked the lemon almond syrup coated angel food cake bites. I may make this an Independence Day tradition with the above modifications.
