World Cuisine Recipe ♯ Italian-Style Strawberry Shortcake

Fast and easy, but very rich and delicious. Pretty in a clear glass trifle dish or individual parfait glasses.

Ingredients

• 1 quart ripe strawberries, sliced
• ⅓ cup white sugar, or to taste
• 1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
• 1 (10 inch) prepared angel food cake, torn into bite-size pieces

Cooking Directions

1. Set aside a few pretty strawberry slices for garnish; sprinkle remaining strawberries with sugar in a bowl and let stand for 10 minutes for juice to form.
2. Mix mascarpone cheese and whipped topping together in a separate bowl. Place torn pieces of angel food cake into a trifle dish; spread strawberries and their juice on cake pieces and top with mascarpone mixture. Decorate with retained strawberry slices. Refrigerate until serving time.
