Angel Food Cake filled with Strawberry Cheesecake is an easy to make and pretty dessert recipe.
Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Angel Food Cake is a heavenly dessert that combines two of my favorite summertime treats into one! It's so very good!
This recipe came about because I've been participating in a 30 Day Recipe Challenge with a group of other bloggers, and this months theme just happens to be strawberries.
The light Angel Food Cake actually makes the perfect vessel for stuffing with Strawberry Cheesecake. As if the Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Angel Food Cake wasn't enough, I used lightly sweetened whip cream to cover the cake for the perfect finish.
The Angel Food Cake can be made the day before for easy assembly. The hardest part for me was cutting a straight line across the top.. Ha..Ha.. I always fail at cutting a cake perfectly in half except for this time when I only wanted to cut about a 1/3 of the way down, but I still think it's pretty even if it's not perfect! Besides taste is what really matters and I promise you it's d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!
Here's how I make Angel Food Cake Stuffed with Strawberry Cheesecake:
First off you'll need to make an Angel Food Cake and let it cool completely. I find it best to make the cake the day before.
To make the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling combine:
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1 envelope Unflavored Gelatin
Puree 1 cup Chopped Strawberries until chunky.
Beat together:
- 8 ounces Room Temperature Cream Cheese
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
Add:
- Pureed Strawberries
- 1/2 cup Finely Diced Strawberries
- Cooked Gelatin
Mix until well combined.
Cut the top off of Angel Food Cake about 1/3rd of the way down and set aside.
Run a sharp knife about an inch in from both edges going about a third of the way down, be careful not to cut through the bottom of the cake.
Carefully remove the center of cake, making sure to leave at least an inch of cake on the bottom.
Fill cake with Strawberry Cheesecake Filling.
Replace top, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
Before serving beat together:
- 1 1/2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Use Whipping Cream to frost Angel Food Cake and enjoy!
I find a sharp serrated knife works best for clean neat slices of Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Angel Food Cake!
Not only is it delicious but pretty too! I hope you enjoy!
