Strawberry Lasagna hails from a restaurant in Nashville, Tenn. It's absolutely delightful, made of layers of pound cake, a cream cheese filling, strawberries soaked in kirsch and strawberry sauce.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
2 large boxes vanilla instant pudding mix
1 cup low-fat whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar
8 cups mashed strawberries
1/2 cup kirsch
1 cup granulated sugar
2 loaves size pound cake

Steps:

  • I usedSara Lee'spound cakes available in the freezer section. Any pound cake will do, but this one was dense, so it was easier to slice.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend cream cheese, pudding mix, cream, milk and confectioners' sugar on high speed until light and fluffy.
  • In a large bowl, mash the strawberries with the kirsch and granulated sugar. Most of the strawberry mixture will be used for the filling. For the topping, puree ½ cup of the strawberry mixture in a food processor. This will be used later as the lasagna sauce for the top of the dessert. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To assemble, slice the pound cake loaves lengthwise using a serrated knife or bread knife, into ½-inch slices. Line the bottom of a metal or glass 13-by-9-inch baking dish with a layer of sliced pound cake. Layer with half the cream cheese mixture, then a layer of strawberry mixture. Layer again with cake, cream cheese and strawberries. Repeat until you've used all of the ingredients.
  • To serve, cut the lasagna into 3-inch squares. Swirl the reserved strawberry topping on top of the dessert to make it look like sauce.
