Paula Deen Strawberry Shortcake Trifle Recipes

Steps:

• Slice cake, using a serrated-edge knife, horizontally into three 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 Jell-o, add water.
• Cook, stirring over medium heat until thick. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely, then fold in strawberries.
• Place one 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.
• For a pretty presentation, top cake with three whole fresh strawberries and fresh mint leaves.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and spray with baking spray.
• Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix until combined. Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just barely combined.
• Pour into the prepared baking sheet and bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
• For the strawberries in sauce: Put the granulated sugar, cornstarch, gelatin and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan. Stir together and bring to a boil. Cook until starting to thicken, then remove from the heat. Put the strawberries in a bowl and pour over the sauce, gently tossing together. Set aside in the fridge and allow the mixture to thicken, stirring occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.
• For the sweet yogurt cream: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the yogurt, cream, granulated sugar and brown sugar on high until smooth and silky.
• Once the cake is cool, flip out onto a cutting board and remove the parchment. Cut the cake into 1.5-inch cubes.
• To assemble the trifle, place half of the cake pieces into the bottom of a trifle dish or large glass bowl. Top with half of the strawberries in sauce, then half of the sweet yogurt cream. Repeat the layers of cake, strawberries in sauce and cream. Garnish with fresh halved strawberries and mint leaves. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• For the pound cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar, and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. After the last egg, continue to beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Beat in the heavy cream and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat on low until just incorporated.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool the pound cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely. (The pound cake can be made up to 2 days ahead; store at room temperature, well wrapped.)
• For the strawberries: Heat the strawberry preserves in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until just warm. Add the strawberries and 1/4 cup water, and bring to a simmer; simmer until the strawberries are just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Add a little sugar to taste if desired. Cool completely. (The strawberries can be made up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container.)
• For the cream layer: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer until very smooth and light. Add a little bit of the cream, and beat to loosen. Beat in the remaining cream, a little at a time, until the mixture just holds stiff peaks, stopping occasionally to scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla.
• To assemble the trifle: Cut the pound cake into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Spoon a little more than a quarter of the cream into the bottom of a trifle bowl. Top with a third of the pound cake, followed by a third of the strawberries and their juices. Repeat the layers, starting with cream, then cake, then strawberries. Top with the remaining cream and a few strawberries. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

Steps:

• Break the angel food cake into small pieces.
• Cook the glaze following package directions, stir in the sliced strawberries, set aside.
• Beat the softened cream cheese with the sugar, then fold in the Cool Whip.
• Place half the cake pieces into the bottom of a large trifle bowl.
• Spoon 1/2 the cream cheese mixture over the cake.
• Place 1/2 the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese, then repeat all three layers.
• Garnish with Cool Whip and whole berries, chill for several hours.
• Note: This can also be made in a 9x13 pan.

Steps:

• Slice the cake very thin and lay half the slices in a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish.
• In a bowl, combine the pudding mix, water, milk, and vanilla with an electric mixer.
• Fold in Cool Whip.
• Pour half of this over the cake and lay half of the strawberries on top.
• Repeat to make second layer.
• Refrigerate until well chilled.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy; add sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and the almond extract; set aside.
• Fold the cool whip into the cream cheese mixture.
• Gently stir in cake pieces; set aside.
• Combine strawberries and sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
• Layer in a large glass bowl, starting with 1/4 of the strawberries, then adding 1/3 of the cake mixture.
• Continue layering; finish with strawberries.
• Cover with plastic wrap; and chill several hours.

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, toss the strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar together.
• Set aside until time to serve.
• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together flour, baking powder, salt and 3 tablespoons of sugar.
• Then pulse in the cold butter cubes until a coarse meal is formed.
• Turn the flour mixture out into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
• Pour in 2/3 cup half-and-half and gently mix it in with a rubber spatula or fork - be careful not to over mix the dough or the biscuits will be tough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over itself a couple of times until it just holds together.
• Pat the dough out to 3/4" thickness and cut out 8 round 3" biscuits.
• Transfer the biscuits to a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
• Brush the tops of each biscuit with the remaining half and half and sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon sugar.
• Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits have risen and are a light golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• Split each biscuit, spoon some strawberries on the bottom piece, then whipped cream and top with the other biscuit half.
• Garnish with more strawberries.
