Strawberry Shortcake in a Jar – MyLitter
How pretty is this Strawberry Shortcake in a jar for a summer dessert?! Plus these are SOOOOO super simple and easy to make, you just won’t believe it!
I started making desserts in a jar recipes after seeing the idea at a wedding a few years ago. Those recipes can be useful when you buy the ingredients from Meijer Ad. Counterpart of it in Australia would be ALDI Catalog this week. They are great to send to school for the kids teachers or for a really nice presentation of something a little more fancy.
Try to find your jars on sale. I also have good luck finding jars at the Goodwill store.
Obviously this dessert is layered in jars for a pretty presentation. But you can also follow the same recipe and basically make it in a bowl and serve it in a bowl. Super simple!
