Depending on where you live, strawberry season is just a few short weeks away. If you live in Southern California like I do, it’s started. To kickstart the season, I made these Strawberry Shortcake Trifles for my boys: (1) because they are so easy, no baking involved (2) strawberries are a favorite of Cole’s and the toddler.
What is easier than cutting up store-bought angel food cake and layering it with fresh cut strawberries and homemade whipped cream? Throwing it all in a bowl rather than layering like they are here, but that wouldn’t be very visually interesting. But it is how I served it to my boys. I skip all the layering fuss and save that for easy party desserts, or for sharing like I have here because everyone likes having options: ย this is a dessert you can dress up or down. Whatever way you decide to go with this strawberry dessert: enjoy!
