Mixed Berry Shortcake


My neighbor Cheryl game me some mini angel food cakes. We were in the mood for a dessert so I used what fruit I had (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries & blueberries) and made a shortcake with homemade whipped topping. It was really easy to make and so delicious. Thanks Cheryl!

  • 1-2 cups of red raspberries
  • 1-2 cups of blackberries
  • 1 cup of blueberries
  • 1-2 tbsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, chopped finely

Combine all ingedients (use frozen fruits if you don't have fresh) in a bowl & mix thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
