This recipe is a classic from my Grandma and is one of my favorite summer desserts to serve guests or bring over to any gathering/dinner party! A fan favorite in our household, this quick semi-homemade dessert is a simple and tasty show stopper!
Strawberry Angel Food Dessert
- 1 lb of fresh strawberries
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1 package of pre-made Angel Food cakes (individual size preferred but can use store bought angel food cake)
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
Cut strawberries into slices and add to a bowl
Sprinkle sugar over the berries, mix until sugar is evenly coating the strawberries and set aside.
The longer the sugar and berries sit out together, the more juices are pulled out from the strawberries creating an amazing homemade “syrup/juice”
While the berries and sugar “marinade”. Add whipping cream and 2 tbsp of powdered sugar to a medium sized bowl.
Whip the cream for about 3 minutes until stiff peaks form, set aside in the refrigerator
After a few minutes the assembly will begin!
Place your Angel Food cake on a plate
The top with your fresh strawberries and spoon on the juice
Add some homemade whipped cream top, a scoop of vanilla ice cream to your plate. Garnish with a vanilla wafer
Enjoy this quick, sweet and summery dessert!
