Fast and simple, but very filling and delectable. Pretty in a trifle dish made of transparent glass or in small parfait glasses.

Reviews
I made it with 2 qts of fresh strawberries, whipped cream, mascarpone. I added 1/4 cup white sugar to strawberries and made strawberry preserves and added the liquid from preserve to strawberries. Friends loved it – none left.
Add up to 1 more box of strawberries. Macerate strawberries to bring out juice.
This was really good. I even misread the amount of strawberries and only put in a pint instead of a quart, but it was still good. Looking forward to using a quart next time!
Having made this for the first time on Memorial day wkend for our bbq I found I needed to double the whip cream portion of the recipe. I also added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 2 Tablespoons sugar to the whipped cream mixture. Came out delicious! I also made my angel food cake instead of store-bought. Would definitely make this again! Next time I will be sure to have a little more strawberry juice for more wetness
Doubled the recipe for bible study all the girls loved it.
This was delicious!!! I made it for the family and everyone loved it. The left overs were taken to work with my husband and shared with the guys he works with. They loved it too!! It is very easy to make and I will make it again!!!
i used a trifle dish and it was fine. i think, in the future, i might make individual dishes the end product is easy and delicious!
MADE THIS IT’S DELICIOUS ADDED SOME BANANAS.
Easy to make and delicious. I added blueberries this time, just for color. I added a little water to the strawberry and sugar mixture for the extra juice. I put a little of the juice over each layer of fruit to make the cake more moist. Wonderful recipe and looks pretty in a trifle dish.
OMG!! This was so easy but amazing taste! Will keep making this recipe forever!
I made it exactly as the recipe stated. It was SO good, and it tastes just like my favorite dessert at my favorite Italian restaurant. I will definitely be making this again!
Loved this, and not only because it was so easy. It was delicious… perfect for a 4th of July party. Everyone loved it. Next time I might add blueberries for a red, white, and blue dessert.
Took this dessert to friends — they said it was “scrumptious”!!
Makes a very pretty and delicious dessert
Great, simple recipe – made it for 4th of July for family. I made a few tweaks and here they are: 1) I used more strawberries, about 2 lbs total. I made a purée with about a cup of the strawberries sweetened with a little liquid stevia for natural sweetness, and combined the purée with the sliced strawberries for more moisture all around. 2) I used coconut sugar from Trader Joes on the sliced strawberries to draw out the juice. It’s just a personal preference. 3) made fresh whipped cream and folded in room temperature marscapone cheese to keep it light and fluffy. Everyone enjoyed it!
This was sooooo delicious. I think it was the best thing I ever made. Lol. This is definitely my new favorite now. And so easy!
This was so easy- and delicious!! I followed the directions, but I added some fresh blueberry and pineapple in with the strawberries. I garnished the top with the strawberry slices, and I sprinkled a little cocoa powder on the top to give it a finished look. It was very impressive looking, everyone loved it!
Very yummy. Did need more strawberries than a quart to make 12 parfait cups. First time to use mascarpone.
Amazingly easy to make and amazingly delicious to eat!!
Delicious!!! I added cream cheese & sugar to make the whipped……..& i used pineapple cake for this delicious goodness. 🙂
It was great. I used a little more whip cream than it said to use on the recipe but it was so amazing like biting into strawberry heaven
