Strawberry Shortcake Trifle Delicious and Simple Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 tablespoon sugar (for strawberries)
• 1 pound vanilla pound cake, cut into cubes
• 2 cups heavy whipped cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 0 none Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with sugar. Allow them to sit for 10-15 minutes until they release their juices.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
3. In a large glass serving bowl or individual trifle glasses, start layering the ingredients. Begin with a layer of crushed vanilla pound cake cubes at the bottom.
4. Next, spoon some of the macerated strawberries and their juices over the cake layer.
5. Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the strawberries, smoothing it out evenly.
6. Repeat the layers (cake, strawberries, whipped cream) until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
7. Garnish with a few whole strawberries and fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
8. Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
