A delightful twist on traditional strawberry shortcake using a glazed doughnut. Easy to prepare, yet an impressive dessert! Use store-bought doughnuts or your own glazed doughnut recipe.
OMG! I saw this and absolutely had to try it! This definitely is a delightful twist on traditional strawberry shortcake. It’s so easy and it’s a great way to use up glazed doughnuts.
Seriously?! This idea is genius!!!! So long spongy shortcake….hello amazingly delicious glazed donut…squishy sweet donut meets fresh juicy strawberries and creamy whipped cream…all in a single sized portion.
After you clean your berries use an egg slicer for slicing the berries and they come out the same size. lay them across as you would a hard boiled egg. Makes it faster and easier.
I have to admit I was skeptical at first. I tried this with cake doughnuts and it was really good. I used unglazed and glazed thinking the glazed might be too much but it wasn’t. The glazed is definitely the way to go.
When we were younger, my mom used to use day old cake doughnuts with sliced strawberries and the old Dream Whip you made. Everything old is new again!
