Angel Food with Strawberry Filling

1 Box Angel food cake
1 lg Frozen strawberries
Cornstarch
Whipping cream

Bake the Angel food cake according to directions on pkg. Cool.

Thaw strawberries in colander over a bowl to catch liquid. Cook the fruit liquid in a saucepan, to simmer. Mix cornstarch (I don't have amounts) with water and stir into hot fruit liquid to thicken, while it is still cooking bringing it to a near boil. Stirring constantly so to keep it smooth. You may have to add more cornstarch, if it is too thin. (This should be somewhat thick). Add the fruit to this mixture, and let cool.

When cake is cooled, cut in half, horizontally. Spread fruit mixture on bottom half and top with the top half.

Spread whipping cream all over.

This should be refrigerated.

Trader Joe's Mediterranean Cheese Style Yogurt
Strawberries (mashed)
Maple Syrup (or agave nectar or any other sweetener)

I use varying amounts of each depending on how sweet I want it or how cheesey! It can be put in the fridge to make a creamy, cheesey yogurt dessert OR you can freeze it for Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream!
