and the small containers used for Mango Chutney Chicken Salad?

Well I still had some containers and spoons left over. So with neighbors coming for coffee they were the perfect size to serve Mini Strawberry Trifle.

Mini Strawberry Trifle

Cook's Notes: Recipe was enough for 10 mini trifles, pictured above. Double recipe if using a larger container like a small wine glass, pictured below, which would serve 4-6 with two layers.

• 1 prepared angel food cake
• 1 quart strawberries, rinsed and dried on paper towels

Strawberry Cream Cheese Whipped Cream

• 1-1/4 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 oz. softened light cream cheese
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 2 TB. Lemon Curd (found in jelly aisle) 

Cake Directions:

• Tear enough cake pieces as needed.
• Dice strawberries and reserve some whole ones if using for garnish on top. 

Strawberry Cream Cheese Whipped Cream Directions:

• In a small bowl beat softened cream cheese, vanilla. powdered sugar and lemon curd.
• Whip cream and fold cream cheese mixture until well blended. 
• If using a mini container only one cake layer and cream mixture topped with a small whole strawberry. If using a container like a wine glass. there will be two cake layers with diced strawberries. Optional grating lemon zest over the top.
