Stawberry Mocha Trifle

Well, I didn't have as much time to spend on presentation as I did with the fruit trifle in a previous post, but this one turned out SO YUMMY! Of course, I tend to be biased whenever coffee is involved! :-)

Ingredients:
1/2 pint fresh strawberries
1 box angel food cake mix
1 container fat free cool whip
1 small box chocolate pudding
2 cups skim milk
1 package Starbucks Via Italian Roast instant coffee or 2 Tsp any kind of instant coffee
2 Tbs warm water
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
5-10 chocolate covered espresso beans (optional)

Directions:
Mix angel food cake according to package directions adding 1/3 cup of cocoa when you mix the ingredients. Bake according to package directions and allow to cool.  Cut into bite size pieces. Dissolve Starbucks Via into 2 Tbs water. Mix dry pudding, skim milk and coffee liquid into a bowl.  Whisk for 2 minutes and allow to set in fridge for 5 minutes. After pudding is set, fold in entire container of cool whip. Wash and slice enough strawberries to make a pattern around the side of the bowl.  Place a layer of cake in the bottom of the bowl and top with mocha pudding. Continue layers until you reach the top.  Garnish the top with sliced strawberries and chocolate-covered espresso beans.

Note: I had 1/3 of the angel food cake leftover.  Nutrition facts are for trifle using only 2/3 of the angel food cake.
