Description

This delightful Little Bunny Strawberry Shortcake Trifle is a charming layered dessert perfect for spring gatherings or Easter celebrations. It features fresh macerated strawberries, cubes of pound cake, and fluffy whipped cream, all beautifully combined in a trifle glass and topped with playful bunny-shaped marshmallows. Easy to assemble and no-bake, this dessert is a crowd-pleaser that’s as fun to make as it is to eat.

Ingredients

Strawberry Mixture

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Cake Layer

  • 2 cups pound cake or shortcake, cubed

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional

  • 1/2 cup vanilla pudding or whipped topping
  • Mini marshmallows or bunny-shaped marshmallows for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let them sit for 10–15 minutes to macerate, allowing the strawberries to soften and release their juices.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream along with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy topping.
  3. Layer the Trifle: Begin assembling your trifle in small jars or a trifle dish by placing a layer of cubed pound cake, followed by a spoonful of the macerated strawberries with juice, then a layer of whipped cream. Repeat these layers until the container is nearly full.
  4. Add Optional Pudding: If using vanilla pudding or whipped topping, add a layer of it between the fruit and whipped cream layers for extra creaminess.
  5. Garnish and Chill: Top the final layer with a dollop of whipped cream and decorate with mini or bunny-shaped marshmallows to mimic bunny ears and add a festive springtime touch. Chill the assembled trifles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Notes

  • This trifle is perfect for spring parties or Easter celebrations.
  • You can use store-bought angel food cake or pre-made whipped topping to save time.
  • For a fun twist, add pastel sprinkles or a drizzle of strawberry syrup for extra color and sweetness.
