Individual Strawberry Shortcake Trifles

Strawberry Shortcake Trifle is the perfect warm-weather dessert! I anxiously await the beginning of strawberry season each year – we just love strawberries. This year, the strawberry season came early! We had a bit of warmer weather in January and I was able to score my first set of delectable berries from the local strawberry farm. My daughter and I made a special trip out to pick up some fresh berries. Strawberry Shortcake Trifle is lite and fresh and makes the perfect summer dessert.  

Strawberry Shortcake Trifle has layers of homemade strawberry sauce, luscious whipped cream and fluffy angel food cake. This combination of ingredients comes together to create the perfect bite

Strawberry Shortcake Trifle has layers of homemade strawberry sauce, luscious whipped cream, and fluffy angel food cake. This combination of ingredients comes together to create the perfect bite. I made these into individual glasses today but we do also layer this into a large trifle dish for large family gatherings and backyard BBQ’s. This dessert is always a crowd pleaser – and it’s so easy to make it’s ridiculous.
