Strawberry Shortcake with homemade filling and glaze..

Here goes another recipe, i made this for my mother in-laws birthday over the weekend! and it was sooo delicious and yummy! everyone loved it! :] it has about 10-12 servings depending on your serving size. Also another trick with the filling, you can mix it with anything pretty much, like....fruits, cake, cookies....ya know anything that would taste good with it. But here we go, its pretty easy to make!

Ingredients:

2 lbs of strawberries (cut into quarters)
2 large angel food cakes (buy the ones that are already made from the bakery)

16 oz tub of whip cream
8 oz cream cheese
14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk

1&1/4 cup of sugar
4 tbsp of cornstarch
6 tbsp of strawberry gelatin
1&1/2 cup water

1. Slice the angel food cakes into squares about 1&1/2 inch. Then separate equally into three portions, set aside.
2. For the Glaze, in a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, strawberry gelatin and water. Cook over medium heat, until it comes to a thick consistency, kind of like syrup.... then let it set aside and cool down. Then fold in the strawberries.
3. For the Filling combine the whip cream, cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk together, til all the lumps are gone and it becomes a thick creamy consistency.

To Layer: Place 1/3 of the cake in a large clear bowl, Top with a layer of glaze, followed by a layer of the filling mixture. Repeat the layering in this order for remaining cake, glaze and filling. And there ya go!! :] enjoy, its super easy and super delicious!! :]
