Ingredients

1 store-bought Angel Food Cake
24 oz. ripe strawberries sliced
3 cups heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 tbsp. powdered sugar
13 oz. container of Marzetti Strawberry glaze
16 plastic party tumbler cups by Tableluxe
Blue frilled toothpicks

Instructions

n a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients together until the cream forms soft peaks. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, gently mix together the sliced strawberries and the Marzetti Strawberry glaze until well coated. The glaze adds a burst of sweetness and enhances the natural flavor of the strawberries.
Take the store-bought Angel Food Cake and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Prepare your plastic party tumbler cups by placing three chunks of angel food cake at the bottom of each cup.
Next, spoon a generous portion of the glazed strawberries onto the angel food cake layer. Make sure to distribute the strawberries evenly, allowing their juices to soak into the cake.
Now, it’s time to add a dollop of the homemade whipped cream on top of the glazed strawberries. Feel free to be generous with it! The creamy texture complements the sweetness of the strawberries and adds a luxurious touch to the dessert.
Repeat the layers by adding more angel food cake, glazed strawberries, and whipped cream, ensuring that each cup is filled to your liking. The alternating layers create a beautiful presentation and maximize the flavors.
Finally, top each Strawberry Shortcake Cup with one glazed strawberry and garnish it with a fun touch – a blue frilled toothpick. This adds a touch of whimsy and makes your dessert visually appealing.
