This easy Strawberry Cheesecake Shortcake Parfaitwill become your go-to dessert in your recipe box.

Strawberry shortcake has always been my all time favorite dessert. Partially because it’s SO easy to make, and partially because it’s just oh so good! It’s thequintessential strawberry dessert and it just screams summer. I’m happy to eat strawberry shortcake all year long, but of course it’s always best when strawberries are at their best.

Complicated desserts can be seriously delicious, but sometimes you just need something easyand satisfying. Strawberry Shortcake fits that bill to the T. (ever wonder where the phrase “to a t” came from?) You can choose the easy route and use theboxed Bisquick mix shortcake and canned whipped cream, or use your favorite recipe for either or both. You choose, but either way, it’s easy to put together and oh so easy to enjoy!

As I was washing the strawberries, Allison came up with the idea that we should add a layer of cheesecake pudding to these tasty little strawberry shortcake parfaits. She dug thru the pantry and as luck would have it…….we had a box of instant cheesecake pudding! I’m sure we are not the first people to add a layer of pudding to strawberry shortcake, but let me just say, it took my favorite dessert to a whole new level with a creamy smooth cheesecake layer!

1 box (4-1/2 cup serving) Jell-O Instant Cheesecake Pudding & Pie filling

Beat pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with wire whisk for 2 minutes. Set in refrigerator until ready to use.
Heat oven to 4250 degrees F. Clean, hull and cut strawberries into bite size pieces. Mix strawberry glaze and strawberries together in a bowl and set aside.
In medium bowl, stir baking mix, 1/2 cup milk, sugar and the butter until soft dough forms. Drop dough by 6 spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet (I like to use my stone). Brush the tops of the shortcakes with milk or cream (this helps brown the tops). Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
