Strawberry Shortcake Trifle
I spent the week searching for the perfect Strawberry Shortcake Trifle recipe for our Easter celebration. I didn’t find just one recipe that I loved but I found quite a few that had parts that I loved.
So I combined all those parts into one recipe. Risky when you have 25+ people showing up at your house expecting the yumminess. I’m thankful to say this recipe ended up being amazing!
We had no leftovers, not even a crumb! I even caught someone, not naming any names of course, licking the bowl!
