Ingredients

Instructions

  • Whisk corn starch and water together in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup.
  • Add the corn starch mixture together with the sugar in a medium saucepan.
  • Mix in the strawberry purée.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over low to medium heat, constantly stirring with a spatula. Once the mixture boils, cook for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until your sauce thickens up and turns a deep ruby red.
  • Then remove your strawberry sauce from the heat and allow it to cool. I like to put mine in the freezer, stirring occasionally, while I go about making the filling and preparing my crust.
  • Add the Dream Whip, milk, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk them together, according to package directions, 'til the mixture begins to form soft peaks. It'll take about 4 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the cream cheese well. Then add both the cream cheese and the powdered sugar to the Dream Whip mixture.
  • Whisk for about 3 to 5 minutes, or 'til smooth and creamy.
  • Slice the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes, and spread those cubes in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
  • Spread the creamy Dream Whip filling over the angel food cake.
  • Once the sauce has cooled, mix the sliced strawberries into the sauce.
  • Then spread that wonderful strawberry sauce over the Dream Whip filling.
  • Cover and chill it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, before serving.

Notes

*To make strawberry purée, all you need to do for this recipe is put maybe 8-12 strawberries, depending on the size of your berries, into a blender and use the purée setting. Making purée is just crushing those berries down into liquid form; and a blender is the best way to do that.
Can I make it in advance?
Yes. It needs to sit in the fridge at least 4 hours before eating, or overnight if possible. Although it will keep for 2-3 days, I wouldn't make it more than a day in advance because the berries can start to fade in color and not look so pretty.
How should I store this dessert?
Cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container, and store it in the fridge. If you use a 9×13 dish with a lid, you are good to go.
Can I freeze strawberry angel food lush?
Yes, you can freeze it. Just be sure it’s in a sealed container or covered really well so it doesn’t get freezer burn. It should last up to 6 months in the freezer.
