Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and cold water. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of quartered strawberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly as it simmers.
Add the remaining 2 cups of strawberries and cook for 1 additional minute until thickened. Remove from heat.
In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, or with a hand mixer, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium speed until medium peaks form.
Add the Greek yogurt to the whipped cream mixture and gently mix to combine.
In a trifle dish, start layering by placing 1/3 of the angel food cake cubes at the bottom.
Dollop 1/3 of the Greek yogurt whipped cream over the cake and spread it to cover.
Spread 1/3 to 1/2 of the strawberry sauce over the whipped cream. Repeat the layering process two more times: cake, whipped cream, and strawberry sauce, finishing with the last bit of strawberry sauce on top.
Slice fresh strawberries and place them on top of the trifle right before serving.
Chill the trifle in the fridge for at least 1 hour until ready to serve.

Notes

Best enjoyed the same day it is made or within 6-8 hours.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the strawberry sauce by adding more or less sugar based on your preference.
For a firmer trifle, use less heavy cream to create a thicker whipped cream texture.
