Easter Recipe

I'm stealing the idea to post this - instead of emailing it out - from my friend Amber - fellow blogger!

As requested...

Berry Delight

-Cream Mixture-
Mix together:
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 c. powdered sugar
1 c. sour cream
2 tsp. vanilla

Mix together and then add to above ingredients:
1/4 tsp. almond extract
2 c. cool whip (I used a 16 oz. tub)
1 tsp. vanilla

-Cake-
Angel Food Cake (I bought mine from the store, but you can make one)
Cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes (if you make yours it might be easier to bake them in loaf pans. I tried to find the loaves at the store, but no luck...this will make your cutting easier - this doesn't have to be exact...I ended up tairing mine at the end).

-Berries-
Mix together:
32+ oz. bag(s) of frozen unsweetened berries:
Blueberries
Raspberries
Strawberries
I found a mixed bag at HEB and bought 3 of those
8-12 oz. Berry Jam (flavor of your choice) mix with berries to thicken.
3-4 Tbs. Sugar

Layer the above 3 items in this order:
1. Cream mixture - VERY THIN layer
2. Cake - about half the cubes
3. Cream mixture - very thin, just enough to seal the cake from the berries
4. Berries - about half the mix
And repeat step 1-4. You might want to reserve just a bit of the cream mixture to dollup on the top of the dessert, but choice is yours - you can also use spray whipped cream. Add fresh berries and greenery to top, if desired.

ENJOY!
