Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 (9 inch) angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 (4 ounce) bar dark chocolate
• 16 ounces mascarpone cheese
• 5 cups frozen strawberries, thawed
• 1.25 cups frozen blueberries, thawed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the mascarpone gently into the whipped cream, until well incorporated. Set aside.

Step 2

Place half of the strawberries into the blender pitcher. Blend until smooth. Mix the remaining whole berries with the pureed strawberries in a large bowl.

Step 3

When ready to serve, run a vegetable peeler over the edge of the dark chocolate bar, letting the curls fall onto the top of the dessert.

Step 4

Layer 1/3 of the angel food cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle or serving dish. Cover with 1/3 of the strawberries and blueberries, and gently spoon 1/3 of the cream mixture over the fruit. Repeat the layers twice, ending with the cream mixture. Chill until ready to serve.
