Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

18-24 large strawberries
1 c ready made strawberry shortcake sponge cake, more or less
1 can(s) whipped cream
18-24 blueberries, fresh

Steps:

  • 1. Clean strawberries and blueberries. Set blueberries aside.
  • 2. Pare off stem tops of strawberries.
  • 3. Cut the tip of the strawberry off so they can sit up on the plate. Using a paring knife or a melon baller, scoop out inside flesh of the strawberries. Put the bits of strawberry in a bowl.
  • 4. Dice or shred cakes into small bits and add to strawberry flesh into bowl. Stir.
  • 5. Stuff the strawberries with cake mixture.
  • 6. Top with whipped cream and add a blueberry. Enjoy!
  • 7. Variations: Discard strawberry flesh and use only cake bits. A JIFFY yellow cake mix, baked according to package directions may be used for the cake. Add a splash of either almond flavoring, extract or Amaretto to strawberry flesh before stirring in cake bits. Sweeten the strawberry flesh with just a little bit of sugar or artificial sweetener. Use one of the strawberry filler recipes on JAP and dollop on top of cake filler, top with whipped cream and blueberry.
