A decadent dessert that will surely impress a crowd. Using homemade Angel food cake and cream cheese whipped cream is the way to go. You can make the Angel Food cake 1 day ahead.
In a food processor or a mini chopper, blend sugar until it becomes fine but not powdered.
In a bowl, sift together cake flour, salt and 1/2 of the fine sugar.
Combine egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tartar in the stand mixer bowl. Whisk together in a low speed for 30 seconds. Change the speed to medium high and sprinkle 1/2 of the sugar while mixing continuously until medium peaks.
Take the bowl out of the stand mixer. Slowly sprinkle the cake flour mixture and fold in gently with a spatula until cake flour mixture is gone.
Spoon the mixtures into an ungreased tube pan. Smooth the top so it is even.
Place the tube pan in a cold oven. Turn the oven on to 325 degrees F and bake for 1 hour.
Invert cake and cool it in the pan. Once it is completely cool, remove the removable bottom and scrapes the sides and bottom of the pan. Diced it into 1-in cubes.
Cream Cheese Whipped Cream
Using a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream until it becomes soft peak.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla and whip again until it becomes whipped cream. BE CAREFUL not to overbeat. Set aside to another bowl.
In the clean stand mixer bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add the condensed milk and beat again until completely blended.
Using a spatula, add and fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Put into the fridge to set for about 30 minutes.
Strawberry Glaze
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and gelatin.
Add water and stir until the mixture is smooth.
Cook over medium-high heat and stir until it is thickened. Be careful not to cook it too long. Cool completely.
Once cooled, pour 1/2 (1 lb) of the strawberries into the glaze while leaving the other half for the top.
Assembly
In a trifle bowl, put a layer of the 1-in cube Angel food cake at the bottom of the bowl. Add a layer of glazed strawberries and then the whipped cream mixture. Repeat layer.
Arrange the unglazed strawberries on top. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hour or overnight.
