Tropical Strawberry Pineapple Shortcake

by

Ingredients

  • 1 package shortcake cups (or homemade shortcakes)
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 2 tbsp sugar (optional, for sweetening fruits)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or whipped topping)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and diced pineapple. Sprinkle with sugar (if using) and let sit for 10–15 minutes to release their natural juices.
  2. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  3. Place a shortcake cup on a serving plate. Spoon a generous layer of the fruit mixture over it.
  4. Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
  5. Repeat with remaining shortcakes.
  6. Garnish with extra fruit and fresh mint leaves.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical twist on a classic dessert! 🌺

Do you want me to make this a no-bake quick dessert version (using store-bought sponge/shortcake), or a fully homemade version with baked shortcake biscuits?
