Strawberry Trifle with Pound Cake and Mascarpone Cream

Strawberries are at their best in spring and summer. And what could be more fun than making a dessert with it? Of course, it's a little work because the warm weather is (hopefully) there to enjoy. And because you serve it in individual glasses, everyone has the same amount.

You can easily make the pound cake yourself or buy it ready-made. Making the Mascarpone cream will take you about five minutes. Layer it all with fresh strawberries, and you have a dessert that tastes and looks delicious—perfect for a summer day!

Notes

1. Cake: Make a delicious cake with this simple recipe, or buy it ready-made. I often use leftover cake crumbled in yogurt or on ice cream. Delicious!

2. Strawberries: This recipe is also delicious with raspberries, blackberries, or red currants.

3. Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract typically contains a little alcohol. If you do not have vanilla extract at home or do not want to use alcohol, you can replace it with two teaspoons of vanilla sugar.

4. Storage

Refrigerator: Store a trifle in the fridge until you are ready to eat it. You can keep this Individual Strawberry Trifle for up to 2 days. Cover it lightly with plastic wrap.
Freezer: You cannot freeze a trifle.
