Description
A delightful and easy no-bake dessert that layers luscious whipped cream, juicy strawberries, and soft shortcake, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package of store-bought shortcake or sponge cake
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until you achieve stiff peaks.
- Layer the shortcake: In your serving dish, layer slices of shortcake at the bottom.
- Spread the whipped cream: Generously spread a layer of whipped cream over the shortcake.
- Add the strawberries: Scatter a layer of sliced strawberries over the whipped cream.

- Garnish: If desired, garnish with mint leaves.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
Notes
Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. You can prepare layers ahead and add strawberries just before serving.
