Boy, do I have a great recipe for you today! This Strawberry Shortbread Trifle is from Lisa at Flour Me With Love and it is crazy good! The first time I made this for a big family gathering, everyone loved it and it totally disappeared in minutes! It has become one of our favorite party desserts! I’m sure it will be a hit with you too!
Lisa and I have been blogging friends for about 2½ years. She is an amazing baker and has quite a collection of mouth-watering treats! You’ve got to check out her blog and connect with her on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter! You’ll be glad you did!
Thanks for sharing, Lisa! 
Strawberry Shortbread Trifle
Ingredients are as follows:
Shortbread:
1 C butter, softened
1/2 C powdered sugar
2 C flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. salt
Layers:
4 small boxes of (sugar-free) strawberry jello
4 C boiling water
16 ounces (low-fat) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
16 ounces thawed (fat-free) frozen whipped topping (cool whip)
1 pint fresh strawberries, diced
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a cookie sheet
.
Mix together the boiling water and jello; stir until dissolved. Place in the fridge to start setting up (you don’t want it to set up completely).
Cream together the butter, powdered sugar, flour and salt.
Spread evenly onto prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown; set aside to cool.
Cream together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla.
Fold in the frozen whipped topping (cool whip); set aside.
Take the cooled shortbread and break it into crumbs.
Place a layer of crumbs into the bottom of a trifle bowl.
Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture on top of the crumbs. Add an even layer of jello. Then a layer of strawberries.
Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are gone. Place in the fridge to allow the jello to finish setting up; about an hour.
Spoon some out and enjoy!

It says fold in frozen cool whip. It has to be thawed, right?? Don’t see how you could fold it in if it was still frozen.
You’re right, Charlotte. I’ll fix it.
I can see where this would be a great crowd pleaser at a BBQ or outdoor party. Yum!
Crazy good for sure! Just looking at that gorgeous bowlful of YUMMM makes my mouth water. Lisa shares some amazing creations. .no doubt about it.
I’m so happy you like this dessert as much as our family does! Thanks so much for swapping posts today Jane
