There are certain desserts that always seem to disappear first at a Southern gathering, and strawberry trifle is one of them. Layer after layer of tender cake, creamy filling, and juicy strawberries makes every spoonful feel like a celebration. We gave this classic a Front Porch Diabetic makeover without losing the comfort that makes everyone come back for seconds.

👩🍳 Let's Get Cooking
Step 1 – Bake the Shortcake
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and monk fruit sweetener.
- Mix eggs, melted butter, sour cream, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients.
- Spread evenly into a greased 9x13-inch pan.
- Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until set and lightly golden.
- Cool completely and cut into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2 – Prepare the Strawberries
- Mix sliced strawberries with monk fruit sweetener and lemon juice.
- Let stand for about 20 minutes so the strawberries release some of their natural juices.
Step 3 – Make the Cheesecake Filling
- Blend ¾ cup granulated monk fruit sweetener until fine and powdery.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Beat in the finely blended monk fruit sweetener and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
Step 4 – Assemble the Trifle
- Place a layer of shortcake cubes in the bottom of a trifle dish.
- Add a layer of cheesecake filling.
- Add a layer of strawberries along with a little of their juice.
- Repeat the layers until the dish is full.
- Finish with cheesecake filling and fresh strawberries on top.
Step 5 – Chill
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
🐔 Pearl's Kitchen Tip
Assembling the trifle a few hours before serving lets the shortcake soak up just enough strawberry flavor while still holding its shape. It's even better after a little time in the refrigerator.
