RED, WHITE, & BLUE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Red, White, & Blue Strawberry Shortcake Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 vanilla or butter-recipe yellow cake mix, plus ingredients prepare (I use Betty Crocker's Golden Vanilla)
1 small box vanilla or white chocolate instant pudding mix
1 cup milk
1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip
1/2 pint fresh blueberries (rinsed and drained on paper towels)
2 (1 lb) containers fresh strawberries (cleaned, quartered, drained on paper towels)

Steps:

  • Prepare cake batter and bake per package directions for a 13x9 cake. Cool completely on a wire rack. In a medium bowl, whisk the pudding mix and milk together until smooth and pudding is set. With a spatula, gently fold in the Cool Whip. Refrigerate while cake cools. When cake is completely cool, spread the pudding mixture evenly over the top. Arrange the blueberries and strawberries in a flag design on top. Keep refrigerated.

Tips:

  • For a crispier shortcake, bake the layers for a few extra minutes until they are golden brown.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to your work surface.
  • When you are assembling the shortcake, be sure to spread the whipped cream all the way to the edges of the layers. This will help to keep the berries from sliding off.
  • If you are using fresh berries, be sure to rinse them well and pat them dry before using them.
  • You can also use frozen berries in this recipe. Just be sure to thaw them before using them.
  • This shortcake is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

This red, white, and blueberry shortcake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart berries, creamy whipped cream, and flaky shortcake layers are a combination that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try.
