Description

A delightful no‑bake dessert using prepared shortcake cups layered with sweetened strawberry mixture and whipped cream—ready in under an hour.


Ingredients

2 pints ripe strawberries, hulled and chopped

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

5 prepared strawberry shortcake cups

1 cup whipping cream, whipped


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, stir together strawberries and sugar. Add condensed milk and gently mash until juicy. Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes.
  2. Place shortcake cups on dessert plates.
  3. Spoon the chilled strawberry mixture and its juices over each cup.
  4. Top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries (thawed and drained) when fresh aren’t available.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract or lemon juice for extra brightness.
  • Substitute store‑bought angel food cake or sponge cake cups if needed.
  • Best assembled just before serving to keep shortcake cups crisp.
