Recipe of the Day - Creamy Orange Trifle

Courtesy of Family Circle

I just found this recipe today, and it looks easy and fun. So have a try - I'll be making it tonight.

1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup boiling water
1 can (6 oz.) frozen orange juice concentrate
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1 pint heavy cream
1 bought angel food cake, about 8 oz.
1/2 cup toasted, slivered almonds
Orange zest, optional

1. Stir in gelatin into cold water until dissolved. Add boiling water, orange juice concentrate and lemon juice. Stir until smooth. Add sugar and continue stirring until dissolved. Refrigerate until mixture starts to thicken, about 1 hour.
2. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold into orange juice mixture.
3. Tear cake into bite-size pieces and place in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Pour orange juice-whipped cream mixture evenly over cake pieces. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
4. Scatter nuts and orange zest, if desired, over the top and serve.
