Strawberry Shortcake Red White Blue Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over medium heat. Add the sliced strawberries and continue to cook until the syrup thickens slightly and forms small foamy bubbles, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk the heavy cream in a medium mixing bowl until it forms soft peaks. Add 1 tablespoon of the strawberry syrup and whisk to firm peaks. Remove the sliced strawberries from the syrup and discard or save for another use.
• Process the shortbread cookies in a blender or food processor or crush by hand to make fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a plate.
• Holding one of the strawberries by the stem, dip it into the syrup, let the excess drain off and then dip it into the cookie crumbs. You may need to pat on the crumbs a bit to make sure they adhere to the strawberry. Place the strawberry on a plate. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
• Spoon the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a small star tip. Pipe a small rosette of whipped cream in the middle of each strawberry. Serve within an hour.

Steps:

• 1. Clean strawberries and blueberries. Set blueberries aside.
• 2. Pare off stem tops of strawberries.
• 3. Cut the tip of the strawberry off so they can sit up on the plate. Using a paring knife or a melon baller, scoop out inside flesh of the strawberries. Put the bits of strawberry in a bowl.
• 4. Dice or shred cakes into small bits and add to strawberry flesh into bowl. Stir.
• 5. Stuff the strawberries with cake mixture.
• 6. Top with whipped cream and add a blueberry. Enjoy!
• 7. Variations: Discard strawberry flesh and use only cake bits. A JIFFY yellow cake mix, baked according to package directions may be used for the cake. Add a splash of either almond flavoring, extract or Amaretto to strawberry flesh before stirring in cake bits. Sweeten the strawberry flesh with just a little bit of sugar or artificial sweetener. Use one of the strawberry filler recipes on JAP and dollop on top of cake filler, top with whipped cream and blueberry.

Steps:

• Prepare cake batter and bake per package directions for a 13x9 cake. Cool completely on a wire rack. In a medium bowl, whisk the pudding mix and milk together until smooth and pudding is set. With a spatula, gently fold in the Cool Whip. Refrigerate while cake cools. When cake is completely cool, spread the pudding mixture evenly over the top. Arrange the blueberries and strawberries in a flag design on top. Keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• Prepare cake according to package directions and bake in a 9x13 inch pan. Cool completely.
• Frost cake with whipped topping. Place blueberries in a square in the corner, and arrange sliced strawberries as stripes to make an American flag. Chill until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish.
• Mix strawberries and blueberries with 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl, and set aside. Mix the cream cheese with the marshmallow creme in a separate bowl until smooth, and set aside. In another bowl, mix the baking mix, milk, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and melted butter into a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown on top, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan.
• Spread the berry mixture and juice over the cooled shortcake, saving a few pretty berries aside for garnish. With a spatula, gently press down on the berries to allow the juices to soak into the cake. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the fruit, and garnish with the reserved berries. Chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting in squares to serve.
