Ingredients

1 quart ripe strawberries, sliced
0.33 cup white sugar, or to taste
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
1 (10 inch) prepared angel food cake, torn into bite-size pieces

Instructions

Save a few attractive strawberry slices for garnish. Place the remaining strawberries in a bowl and gently sprinkle with sugar. Let sit until the sugar dissolves and the berries release their juices, approximately 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and whipped topping. Arrange the cake pieces in a trifle dish, then evenly spread the strawberries and their juice over the cake. Generously top with the mascarpone cream and garnish with the reserved strawberry slices. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve for the best flavor.
