Sweetened Whipped Cream

• Sweetened Whipped Cream Recipe X 2

Assembling Strawberry Shortcake Trifle

1. Using a serrated knife cut 6 slices (1.9-cm /¾-inch wide) of Angel Food Cake. Using a cookie cutter cut the Angel Food Cake to fit in the base of the dessert cup and place on top of the set strawberry jelly.
2. Transfer the Sweetened Whipped Cream to a large pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip.
3. Pipe the Sweetened Whipped Cream around and on top of the Angel Food Cake round. Using the back of a demitasse spoon spread the whipped cream to smooth out the layer (making sure cake round is completely covered).
4. Change plain tip to a decorative tip, pipe a decorative mound in the centre.
5. Garnish with sliced strawberries and serve.
6. Enjoy!
