Ingredients

1 box red velvet cake mix plus ingredients called for on the box
2 (8 oz each) packages cream cheese softened
1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Sliced strawberries, raspberries, and mint leaves

Instructions

Prepare the cake mix in a 9x13-inch baking dish as instructed on the box. Let the cake cool completely.
1 box red velvet cake mix
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the yogurt, powdered sugar, and lemon zest, and beat to combine.
2 (8 oz each) packages cream cheese, 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
In another bowl, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Take about 1/4 of the cream and fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Once incorporated, add the remaining cream and fold it in until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag.
Cut the cooled cake into small squares.
To assemble, put a few of the cake squares in the bottom of a cup. Press gently down. Pipe a layer of the cream mixture, then top with a few sliced strawberries. Add another layer of cake. Repeat the layers once more, for a total of 3 cake layers and 3 cream layers.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Top with more strawberries, raspberries, and a mint leaf before serving.

Notes

You can also serve this as one trifle, assembled in a trifle bowl or dish. Place 1/3 of the cake cubes in the bottom, followed by 1/3 of the cream mixture. Add a layer of strawberries. Then repeat the layers two more times.

This makes 12 good sized trifles. You can use smaller cups to get more servings.
