Instructions: With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream, 2 tablespoons of the sugar substitute and 2 teaspoons of the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. With a rubber spatula, fold two-thirds of the whipped cream into the melted, cooled cream cheese; reserve remaining whipped cream. Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons sugar substitute and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract into cream cheese mixture.

Cut muffins in thirds. Spread with apricot jam, then cut into 1-inch pieces.

To assemble: Spread one-third of the muffin pieces on the bottom of a 2-quart glass dessert dish; fit pieces together to cover the bottom of the dish. Spread half the cream cheese mixture over muffin pieces; top with 1 1/2 cups strawberries. Repeat layers. Scatter remaining muffin pieces over strawberries; cover berries with whipped cream. Scatter remaining berries and almonds over whipped cream. Chill 1 hour for flavors to blend.

This recipe yields 12 servings.

Description: "Originally trifles were made to use up cake that was slightly stale. Over the centuries this British favorite has developed as a dessert in its own right. It makes a perfect dessert for a graduation party."
