Strawberry Shortcake Trifle Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 angel food cake, cubed
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Strawberries
In a bowl, mix the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to release their juices.
Precaution: Stir occasionally to ensure even coating of sugar.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Precaution: Ensure the bowl and beaters are cold for best results.
Step 3: Assemble the Trifle
In a trifle dish, layer half of the cubed angel food cake. Spread half of the strawberry jam over the cake, followed by half of the sugared strawberries and half of the whipped cream. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
Timing: This should take about 10 minutes.
Step 4: Garnish and Chill
Garnish the top with mint leaves. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
Precaution: Cover the trifle with plastic wrap to keep it fresh.
