How To Make Strawberry Shortcake Doughnuts
This is possibly the easiest breakfast or dessert recipe you will ever make. I love to use fresh bakery donuts, but if you have a favorite donut recipe, feel free to make them homemade. My favorite bakery donuts to use are cake donuts and glazed donuts. Try experimenting with different donuts like sugar, chocolate, and even strawberry cake donuts. The possibilities are endless.
1-Wash, hull, and chop your strawberries.
2-Place strawberries in a medium size mixing bowl and add sugar. Stir to coat well and place them in the fridge until you are ready to assemble your shortcake.
3-In a large mixing bowl beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer until soft peak.
4-Cut donuts in half, top with strawberries, whipped cream, the other half of the donut, then more whipped cream and strawberries. Enjoy!

Macerated Strawberries
What are macerated strawberries? Macerated strawberries means to soften or sweeten the strawberries with liquid. It’s a perfect way to sweeten up strawberries that aren’t as ripe as you would like them. You can macerate fruit in a liquid such as balsamic vinegar or even liquor. Personally I like to macerate and break down my fruit in sugar. The mixture is then set aside to soften and release it’s own juices.
How To Store Strawberry Shortcake Donuts?
I would recommend storing all ingredients separately and assembling them right before you are ready to serve. Strawberries and whipped cream can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
