Berries were on sale this week at the grocery store so I picked up all my favorites and made a fairly healthy summer dessert. Guess what, my kids HATE berries, it's almost getting laughable what they won't eat. But, it doesn't stop me and this is an easy dessert to work around for everyone if you do it individually. IF your kids will eat berries, you could also make this in your favorite pretty bowl to save some time.
What you'll need
Angel Food cake~I buy mine and this time it was an Angel loaf, tastes the same
Strawberries
Raspberries
Blueberries
Whipped Cream~NOT Cool Whip, unless you must, but please don't tell me;)
Chop your strawberries. Dump all your berries into a bowl. Mix them around with 1/4 C Sugar. Put them in the fridge for at least an hour so the berries will make their own juice.
Chop up your Angel Food cake into cubes or tear it up if you need to get out some frustrations.
Make this fabulous Whipped Cream
Large container of Heavy Whipping Cream
2 t Vanilla extract
Whip it until it's stiff. Add 1 1/2 Powdered Sugar and whip until it's nice and thick.
Get out your pretty wine glasses that don't get nearly enough use and put a scoop of berries in the bottom. Throw some Angel cubes in and kind of press down. Dollop of Whipped Cream, more berries, Angel Cubes, press down, more berries and another dollop of Whipped Cream. You can make these a little bit ahead but not too long unless you like mushy cake. I'm a texture person so I prefer to throw it together right before serving and it only takes a minute if you have everything prepped. Omit berries if you have children like mine. Makes 8 servings
Cut your cake about this thick and then cube it up. You can also just tear it up if you don't want to get a knife dirty.
Press each layer down a bit as you go.
Don't forget the whipped cream
DONE!
