Strawberry Shortcake Glazed Donuts

This is a delicious dessert or snack that can be quickly whipped up when needed.

There are many different variations on this, though essentially, a strawberry shortcake is created using three components – a baked pastry, strawberries and whipped cream.

The baked pastry could be a cake, biscuit, shortbread, cookie or in this case, a donut.

Macerated Strawberries

For this recipe, you will need to make some macerated strawberries. To do this, sugar is sprinkled over freshly cut strawberries and let it sit for a few minutes.

You will then end up with some delicious strawberries in juice.

If you prefer, you can just use fresh strawberries and top with strawberry syrup or topping.

Ingredients for making Strawberry Shortcake Donuts

To make four donuts, you will need:

4 Glazed Doughnuts
2 Cups Fresh Strawberries, washed and sliced
2 TBSP Castor Sugar
1 Cup Thickened Cream
1 TBSP Icing Sugar
½ tsp Vanilla Extract

Making Strawberry Shortcake Donuts

Wash, dry and slice the strawberries and place them in a small bowl with the castor sugar. Let the strawberries sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.

While waiting for the strawberries, add the thickened cream, icing sugar and vanilla extract together in a bowl and whip until soft peaks form.

Slice each doughnut in half horizontally. This will create a top and a bottom layer.

Spoon or pipe some of the whipped cream over the bottom halves of the four donuts.

Next, spoon over the macerated strawberries onto the top of the cream.

Add a dollop of the cream to the top of the strawberries.

Top with the top halves of the donut.

Add some more whipped cream and strawberries if desired.

You could also sprinkle some icing sugar over the top as well.

Serve immediately.
