Spring’s arrival brings with it a whole new bounty of fresh fruit, and I’m super excited about the return of strawberries. They’re already available for picking here in the south, and probably just weeks from being ready up north.
So, let’s celebrate Spring with a dessert that’s too good not to share: this Creamy Strawberry Shortcake Trifle Fluff!
When you make the strawberry JELL-O for this recipe, you’ll be adding cream cheese to the mixture before chilling.
When the JELL-O is set, start layering your ingredients in a large trifle dish. Start with the JELL-O, then add a layer of COOL WHIP and angel food cake cubes.
Next you’ll add the fresh strawberries and blueberries. I picked a ton of blueberries last summer, so I used some of those. I think they add a nice pop of color. Repeat the layers once more.
You’ll end up with two layers of everything. If you have any left over fresh fruit, you can add a few slices for decoration on top of the COOL WHIP. Keep refrigerated.
It made a delicious dessert for Easter dinner for me, and would be perfect for any brunch menu all year. To get the complete recipe with ingredients, click here.
There’s a sweet delight in every spoonful!

Come strawberry season, I am definitely making this! So light and fresh looking! I just need to get myself a trifle dish like this!
We’re quite aways from strawberry season here in Canada, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the ones from south of the border! This looks SO yummy!

Hello Spring and yummy strawberries. What a delightful dessert and perfect for a pot luck
Yummy! I was eating a late lunch salad and now I want something sweet!
This is just so perfect and amazing for spring and summer
it looks beautiful too
I agree! Just in time for summer picnics!
This sounds really good adding Jell-O in it. I bet it is nice and sweet!
This looks delicous, but I mean really, is it even possible to go wrong with Strawberries and whip cream?
This looks so good. Definitely going to give it a try this summer. yumm yumm 🙂
I have made a similar treat before using strawberries, cool whip and angel food cake. It is well loved.
What’s not to love about this recipe!? You have me craving a hot summer day so I can host a gathering to serve this at!
I made a Strawberry Trifle for Easter too! I need to try your Jello & cream cheese mixture sometime.
That definitely has my taste buds going into over drive! I could probably eat that three times a day instead of meals not that I would-or so I say now–I can be very dangerous with desserts like this one.
THat is such a yummy idea. I love that it has real fruit too
OMG…this looks delish..I have to make this. Thanks for showing us how to make it!
It looks so light, tasty, and refreshing for spring or summer!
OH MY Goodness! I am already hungry and your pictures just made me hungrier. I love how easy this looks to make!
Yum! This looks so good! I saw this on facebook and thought it was probably super hard to make. But I think I may be able to do this! It looks amazing!
Oh my goodness this looks amazing! What a delicious treat – I really fancy some frifle now.
I agree- LOVE strawberries! This looks scrumptious. It’s very similar to a family favorite that I often make for family gatherings. Most of the same ingredients, except I press the mixture into a jello mold, chill, and then remove it from the mold, “frost” with the whipped cream and garnish with the strawberries.
OMG! I should NEVER read your blog on an empty stomach. I am ravenous for this now!
Liz this looks AMAZING! I am going to have to make this this weekend for my family.
Yummy licious, for sure. I want some tonight!
This looks so yummy. This will be perfect for my upcoming get together with my girlfriends.
Oh, my goodness that looks delicious! I love strawberry shortcake. And it looks so pretty as a trifle. Definitely saving this!
I love to make a sweet treat every so often, and I think this is going to be on the menu this weekend. We’re overdue for some epic nom noms!
That looks absolutely amazing! Anything involving Cool Whip and cream cheese is a winner for me!
It’s a little before lunch time and my mouth is watering over this desert. This looks like such an easy dessert to make that I can probably whip it up as a surprise after dinner tonight.
