These mixed berry shortcake cups are kind of a cheat.
I wanted to pay homage to the classic Strawberry Shortcake in a carefree way by combining fresh seasonal berries for the perfect spring dessert without exerting much effort.
So let’ discuss the cheating factor:
- The shortcake cups aren’t made from scratch. They’re store-bought. Sorry, not sorry.
- Whip cream is replaced with almond vanilla yogurt for a much creamy healthy base.
- Blueberries and blackberries replace strawberries to boost up the antioxidants.
- Granola adds a sweet nutty crunch.
- Sprinkles of shredded coconut flakes seal the deal.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I’m here to show you the possibilities of how you can create simple, bold recipes just by using ingredients that you probably already have on hand. The only investment here is the shortcake cups everything else, I sourced from my pantry and fridge.
Shortcake cups make the perfect canvas for a MAGICAL transformation.
Here’s why:
- They’re Simple-Easy to fill
- You can use healthy high-end ingredients
- They make the perfect stand-alone dessert option
- You can explore endless fruit and topping combinations
- Children LOVE them!
- And the rate of return is an insanely, scrumptious reward. 🙂
Add a drizzle of honey and it all makes sense…
