• 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) package frozen pound cake, thawed
• 1 quart fresh strawberries
• 1 (16 ounce) container frozen sliced strawberries in syrup, thawed
• 1 lemon
• 3 (8 ounce) containers blended strawberry yogurt
• 1 (3 1/2 ounce) package cheesecake flavour instant pudding and pie filling
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Coarsely chop almonds. Cut pound cake into 1 inch cubes; set aside.

Set aside one strawberry for garnish. Remaining strawberries and cut into quarters.

In a small bowl combine fresh and frozen strawberries, mix well.

Juice lemon to measure 2 tablespoons.

Place in a large bowl and whisk in yogurt and pudding mix until smooth.

Put half of the cool whip container in bowl and fold mixture inches Reserve the other half of the cool whip.

To assemble trifle: place one third of the pound cake into bottom of a trifle bowl.

Top pound cake with one-third of strawberry mixture.

Top with half the yogurt mixture, spreading evenly.

Sprinkle with one third of toasted almonds. Repeat layers one more time.

Top with remaining pound cake cubes and remaining strawberries.

To garnish, spread reserved cool whip topping over top of trifle, forming a flat surface.

Sprinkle remaining almonds over cool whip. You can then sprinkle with powdered sugar and create a strawberry “fan” with reserved strawberry.

To do this just use an egg slicer and place strawberry, stem down in the slicer. Slice most of the way down through the wires.

Remove the strawberry from the wires and gently fan out the slices.
