Description

Create delightful individual strawberry shortcake trifles in jars. This easy no-bake dessert layers juicy strawberries, fluffy pound cake, and vanilla whipped cream for a portable and impressive treat perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 3 cups)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pound cake, store-bought or homemade, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Macerate the strawberries: In a bowl, toss sliced strawberries with sugar. Let sit for about 10 minutes, gently folding every couple of minutes, until berries release their juices.
  2. Prepare the whipped cream: If using store-bought, fold vanilla extract into the whipped cream. If making fresh, whip cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold in vanilla extract.
  3. Layer the trifle: In individual jars or glasses, start with a layer of pound cake cubes. Top with a layer of macerated strawberries, ensuring some juice is included. Dollop with whipped cream.
  4. Repeat layers: Continue layering pound cake, strawberries, and whipped cream until the jars are nearly full, ending with a layer of whipped cream. Gently press each layer to prevent air pockets.
  5. Chill before serving: Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (2 hours is better) to allow flavors to meld and the cake to absorb some juice.

Notes

  • For a lighter cake option, angel food cake can be used.
  • Coconut whipped cream is a good dairy-free alternative.
  • Honey can be used instead of sugar for the strawberries, adjusting the amount for sweetness.
  • If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them thoroughly to prevent a soggy dessert.
  • For best results, chill the trifle for at least an hour before serving.
  • These strawberry shortcake trifle jars can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
