Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought loaf or homemade cake Angel food cake
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tool Heart-shaped cookie cutter
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the angel food cake into 1-inch thick slices. Use the heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut heart shapes from each slice. Set aside.
Rinse the strawberries, then hull and slice them. Place them in a medium bowl and toss with the granulated sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate and release their natural juices.
In a chilled bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, but be careful not to overwhip. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To assemble, place one angel food cake heart on a serving plate. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top, followed by a spoonful of macerated strawberries. Place another angel food cake heart on top to create a sandwich effect.
Repeat the process for the remaining hearts to create individual servings.
Garnish the top with a small dollop of whipped cream, a slice of fresh strawberry, and a mint leaf, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this light and refreshing dessert!
