Print Recipe

A simple and charming handheld dessert featuring layers of crumbly biscuit, sweetened macerated strawberries, and fluffy whipped cream served in jars. Perfect for summer gatherings and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2–3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8–10 small all-purpose biscuits or 1 can store-bought flaky biscuits, crumbled
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: fresh mint leaves, powdered sugar, honey drizzle

Instructions

  1. Place sliced strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of sugar. Toss gently to coat and let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Crumble biscuits roughly into bite-size pieces. Optionally, toast the crumbles lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
  3. Pour cold heavy cream into a chilled bowl. Add vanilla extract and beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of biscuit crumble into the bottom of each jar. Add a generous layer of macerated strawberries with syrup, followed by a dollop of whipped cream. Repeat layers once more, finishing with a swirl of cream on top.
  5. Chill jars in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow layers to meld slightly.

Notes

Keep biscuit crumble separate if assembling ahead to maintain crunch. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to strawberries if they are not sweet enough. Chill cream and bowl before whipping for best results. Avoid overwhipping cream to prevent turning it into butter.
