Mini Strawberry Shortcake Trifles

We’re ready to make a few Strawberry Shortcake Trifles for our Valentine’s Day party! Whether you are throwing a party or you are invited to one, everyone will be looking forward to delicious food and desserts, refreshing drinks and of course, lots of Valentine’s fun!

Summer Strawberry Shortcake Trifles

Not only are these festive and fun for a red celebration, they are delish to boot!

I love to plan easy, classic recipes but with a fresh twist! These individual Strawberry Shortcakes Trifles are no different. We all love them in their classic form, but you’ll love them even more served individually in Mason jars. These are a show stopper and there should be no surprise if they are gone in a heartbeat!
