The Best Ever Strawberry Shortcake Trifle
Feast your eyes upon this vision of sweetness! Prepare yourself for a delightful dessert that layers fluffy cake, fresh strawberries, and creamy goodness all in one delightful bowl.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pound cake (store-bought or homemade), cut into cubes
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional, but who doesn’t want to feel fancy?)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Let this fruity concoction sit for about 30 minutes to become extra juicy and delightful.
- While the strawberries are marinating in the sweetness, it’s time to whip some cream! In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Then, gently fold in the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until all the ingredients are harmoniously blended.
- Now comes the fun part—layering! Grab a trifle dish or any glass bowl you have lying around. Start with a layer of cake cubes at the bottom. Then, add a layer of those glorious marinated strawberries. Follow this with a generous dollop of the cream mixture. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of your dish, but save a few strawberries and cream for the grand finale!
- Top it all off with the remaining cream and the luscious berries. If you’re feeling adventurous, toss a few mint leaves on top for that ‘I’m fancy and sophisticated’ touch.
- Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour so all those flavors can mingle like old friends at a reunion.
- Serve up this beauty in a bowl (or straight from the dish, we won’t judge) and enjoy every scrumptious bite!
