Tips Tricks and FAQs

Let your strawberries sit longer! In the recipe, we suggest letting the strawberries sit with the sweetener for about 2 minutes, but you can easily do this for much longer. I have been known to cut the strawberries in the morning, add the sugar, and then cover them and place them in the fridge all day. By the time we are ready to enjoy them, they are so juicy and delicious!
This recipe is made for individual servings, but you can easily make a strawberry shortcake trifle with this recipe, you will just need to triple the recipe.
Add chocolate! Who doesn’t love chocolate and strawberries? Drizzle some chocolate on the top if you choose.
You can swap out the whipped topping for real whipping cream if you would like a richer flavor.

Storage

You can store your leftovers in the fridge covered for about 2 days. Over time the angel food cake will start to soak up the liquids and become soggy.

Does Strawberry shortcake need to be refrigerated?

Yes! If you are not enjoying this right away you will want to place it in the fridge. I recommend only refrigerating for up to an hour or two before serving because the angel food cake will become to get soggy as it soaks up the whipped topping.
