Ingredients

Angel food cake prepared and cut into cubes (I used a store-bought prepared angel food cake)

For the Filling

8 oz strawberries sliced and divided
8 oz blueberries divided
2 tablespoons sugar divided
2 tablespoons cornstarch divided
4 tablespoons water divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice divided

For the Cream Cheese Layer

16 oz cream cheese softened
⅔ cup evaporated milk
⅔ cup sugar

For the Whipped Topping

1 ½ cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine sliced strawberries (keep ½ cup aside for topping), 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water and ½ tablespoon lemon juice.
Heat over medium heat until mixture begins to simmer.
Stir frequently for about 5 minutes or until filling thickens. Remove from heat.
Repeat this same process with the blueberries. Combine blueberries (keep ½ cup aside for topping), 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water and ½ tablespoon lemon juice.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together cream cheese, evaporated milk and ⅔ cup sugar until smooth.
Fold in angel food cake cubes until they are completely coated with the cream mixture. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whip together heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until it forms peaks.
Place half of the cake/cream mixture in a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Spoon half of the strawberry filling and half of the blueberry filling over top.
Spread half of the whipped topping over the berries.
Repeat layers (cake/cream, fruit filling, whipped topping).
Garnish with remaining fresh strawberries and blueberries.
Chill for two hours prior to serving.

Notes

You can use angel food cake mix from the box. However, you may not need to use it all.
Another easy substitute is using Cool Whip instead of making whipped cream from scratch.
Chill this dessert in the fridge for at least two hours before serving.
