Strawberry Shortcake Shooter Ingredients

Method

Directions for Assembling Strawberry Shortcake Shooters

  1. 1

    Prepare the Strawberries

    Wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Place them in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cake

    If using store-bought vanilla cake, cut it into small cubes. If making homemade, bake and cool the vanilla cake before cutting into cubes.

  3. 3

    Whip the Cream (if not using pre-made)

    In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Shooters

    In clear shot glasses or small cups, layer the ingredients starting with a layer of vanilla cake cubes at the bottom, followed by a layer of strawberries (with some juice), and then a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with whipped cream on top.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Top each shooter with a mint leaf for garnish. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
