Strawberry Shortcake Dessert Cups

Create a fancy dessert in minutes. Made with local yogurt, whipped cream, and strawberries, these dessert cups will definitely be a crowdpleaser. Recipe created by Lindsay Pleskot, @LindsayPleskot.RD.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups full fat vanilla yogurt (I used 9% for an extra creamy texture)
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, plus more for topping
  • 3 mini sponge cakes, roughly chopped
  • Whipped cream (for topping)

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mash the strawberries until a chunky paste forms.
  2. Divide the strawberries into 4 small jars or glass cups.
    Add the sponge cake pieces on top of the mashed berries, pressing down slightly so they soak up the juices.
  3. Spoon the yogurt over the shortcake layer, smoothing the top.
  4. Top each cup with whipped cream and more whole or cut up strawberries
  5. Enjoy immediately, or let them sit in the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight to allow the shortcake to soften, and the yogurt to thicken.
