MINI STRAWBERRY CAKE TRIFLES RECIPE
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Global
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 8 servings
Prep time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
-
500 g strawberries, washed (I used a whole tray)
-
2-3 tbsp. granulated sugar; more to taste (depending on how ripe the strawberries are)
-
5-6 cups fresh baked cake, cubed into 2cm pieces
-
1 1⁄2 cups heavy whipping cream
-
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
-
4 tbsp. honey
METHOD
- For the strawberries
- Place one-third of strawberries in a bowl, using a potato masher, mash into a chunky puree.
- Slice the remaining berries and stir into mashed strawberries.
- Add the sugar and stir to combine. Set aside at room temperature for a least 30 minutes.
- For the honey whipped cream
- Pour the heavy cream into a chilled bowl. Beat until whip cream starts to thicken. This should take about 2 minutes on medium setting of a stand mixer a little longer with a hand mixer.
- Turn off the mixer and add the honey. Resume beating on medium speed until soft peaks hold, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Assembly
- Evenly divide all ingredients among 8 serving glasses and layer with cake, whipped cream and strawberries.
