In the spirit of the upcoming patriotic holiday, I found an easy dessert recipe you can make this weekend: Red, White & Blue Strawberry Shortcake. it’s colorful and delicious.
You’ll need the following items:
- Strawberries
- Angel Food Cake or Pound Cake
- Cool Whip + blue coloring
In the blog where I found this recipe, they serve this dessert in stemless wine glasses; however, I’m sure any dish will work.
Directions:
Clean and cut the strawberries, then put them aside. Cube the angel food cake or pound cake and then put it aside, too. Then mix the blue food coloring with the Cool Whip to complete the red, white, and blue look.
Put the blue cool whip in a piping bag or use a ziplock bag and cut the bottom corner. Then layer the items in your dish, starting with the shortcake then the strawberries and finally the cool whip. It’s recommended that you put the cool whip on right before serving.
Your guests will love this light & fun patriotic dessert.
