You Asked For It: Angel Fruited Trifle

 
Tampa Bay Times
Published April 24, 2012

I'm looking for the recipe for a Tupperware cake from the '60s or '70s. I remember the ingredients but need the instructions. There was fruit, angel food cake and ice cream and it was put in the freezer. Does anyone know this recipe?

Nancy Bloomer of Redington Shores shares a recipe she hopes Donna enjoys. While it doesn't include the ice cream that Donna remembers, the pudding and Cool Whip achieve a similar taste sensation. This recipe is easy to put together. There are a couple of changes I made that I would recommend. First, rather than tear the cake, I used a serrated knife and cut it into bite-sized chunks. I also sliced the strawberries instead of leaving them whole. This dessert looks pretty in a glass bowl. It makes a very nice presentation for a gathering. Nancy suggests using other fruit combinations as well like cherry pie filling. I chose to use strawberry Jell-O because there were so many flavors I didn't want to add another. The great thing about this dessert is you can mix flavors every time you make it. Strawberries with banana pudding could be one option. You could garnish with shaved chocolate or chocolate curls too.

Dorothy Krueger of New Port Richey is looking for a source for baker's cheese. She wants to make a cheesecake recipe that uses this ingredient but is having trouble locating it locally.
