Trifle with cheesecake filling?

Question

You know that Philadelphia cheesecake filling that they sell in the stores in the big, round containers? How could I make an easy trifle with this? Or does that sound yucky?

Answer 1

I have made trifles before ..... i think the cheesecake version would be awesome.... it may be a little 'heavy' in the layers, so maybe whip some heavy cream til fluffy and add the cheesecake filling to that, so it would be a little fluffier. would be awesome with fresh strawberries and angelfood in the layers! yum!

Answer 2

My mom has a trifle recipe that uses 8 oz. of cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped topping. I haven't tried the cheesecake filling, but I think if you thin it out a bit, maybe with some cream or evaporated milk, then fold in some cool whip, it would work just fine.

Answer 3

Sounds good to me. Just subsitute the pastry cream for the cheesecake filling. Of course this would only work if the cheescake filling doesn't need to be bake. I honestly have never used it or bother to read the lable at the store so i don't know. If for some reason it does need to be bake you can always make your own nobake cheesecake filling to use. I unfortunatly can't think of one of the top of my head, basically it is unflavored gelatin cream cheese and sugar.

Answer 4

That sounds wonderful! Just use it in place of the pastry cream! I haven't bought the product, but I know about it. If it's a little stiff, try whipping it a little to give it a lighter texture.

Answer 6

Sounds delicious to me. I actually thought of doing that very thing shortly after I learned that Kraft had come out with that product! What good summer fun we can create with this now, huh! Go for it! What all are you adding to it? Lady fingers? Pound cake chunks? Angel food cake? What kind of fruit? Yum...........
