6-Ingredient Strawberry Shortcake Parfait

Whether you're longing for summer or simply searching for a refreshing sweet treat, strawberry shortcake never disappoints. This 6-ingredient make-ahead recipe is perfect to tuck in the refrigerator for a tasty Valentine's Day dessert!

  • 1/4 cup whipping cream (chilled)
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 slices angel food cake (1" thick, cut into cubes)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla pudding
  • 1 cup strawberries (diced)

  1. Chill the bowl of a stand mixer or a separate glass or metal bowl in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes.

  2. Pour whipping cream into chilled bowl. Mix on medium speed with a stand mixer or hand mixer just until bubbly.

  3. Add sugar and vanilla. Resume mixing until it reaches your desired whipped cream texture. This can take 3-4 minutes.

  4. Layer 1/4 of the cake cubes, 1/4 of the strawberries, and half of the pudding, followed by 1/4 of the cake cubes, 1/4 of the strawberries, and 1/2 the whipped topping in a jar or parfait glass. Repeat for second parfait.
