Tart Raspberry Meet Sweet Cream

Layers of sweet cream, raspberry jam, fresh raspberries, softened butter cookies, and even more sweet cream make up this shortcake. Making this dessert delectable, easy, and absolutely gorgeous.

This dessert, like my mousse, is incredibly easy and comes together in minutes. With different notes of creaminess and sour, tart, sweetness this dessert delivers on creativity, ease, taste, and looks. Adjust it as you need for your guests, yourself, or based on what you have at home. This dessert is meant for its easy and quick 15 minute preparation!

Cookie or Cake?- The beauty of this dessert is that it's supposed to make your life easier so just try to use your household items or whichever you prefer. Any type of butter cookie will do the job, especially after setting with the cream, but pound cake will give you that extra decadence in this shortcake.

Raspberries- Since the focus of this dessert is the raspberry I like to add fresh raspberries in between the layers and not just as a garnish. Alternatively if you have raspberry powder instead of as a garnish sprinkle you can also whip it into your cream to have raspberry cream!

Decorating- Like I previously mentioned, raspberry powder is perfect as a sprinkling garnish, along with mint, and more fresh raspberries, it gives a striking long that is both effortless and beautiful.

Jars- I also use these jars in my mousse recipe, they are about 3-4 inches tall and 2 inches wide and this recipe makes about 4-5 so keep that in mind when filling your jars! You can also always adjust the recipe to make more as needed!
