A delightful twist on traditional strawberry shortcake using a glazed doughnut. Easy to prepare, yet an impressive dessert! Use store-bought doughnuts or your own glazed doughnut recipe.

Total: 15 mins
Servings: 4
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 glazed doughnuts, halved horizontally
1 quart strawberries, hulled and sliced

Directions

Step 1
Beat cream, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 2
Place the bottom half of one doughnut on a plate. Spoon 1/4 cup whipped cream onto the doughnut, arrange 1/4 of the sliced strawberries over the whipped cream, and then spoon another 1/4 cup whipped cream over the strawberries. Top with remaining doughnut half. Repeat with remaining doughnuts, cream, and strawberries.

Cook’s Note:

We chose not to sweeten the strawberries since the doughnut is sweeter than a traditional shortcake biscuit. However, if you’d like, you can add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the sliced strawberries.

Tips

You can also use doughnut holes and create a layered dessert in a glass jar. Slice the doughnut holes into halves for the layers.
