I love to lighten up desserts, this one is especially comforting in stormy weather like we are having currently and thinking forward to the calmer warm days ahead. A favorite beverage in the summertime is Pina Colada, so voila...behold the "Pina Colada Trifle". Hope you enjoy making and serving this to your friends and family as much as I do.

1 Angel Food Loaf (cubed)
16 oz Philadelphia (1/3 Less Fat) Cream Cheese (room temperature)

10 oz Maraschino Cherries (drained and rinsed)
