Description

Strawberrry shortcake is a traditional lighter (lower in calories and fat that is) dessert. So how do you health-ify it? You use less of the not-so-good stuff (ie: sugar-laden angel food cake) and add in some healthier stuff (ie: protein-rich Greek yogurt).

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Fresh Strawberries, Washed, Stemmed And Quartered Lengthwise
  • 10 whole Fresh Mint Leaves, Chiffonade
  • ⅔ cups Whipping Cream
  • 4 ounces, weight Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 3 slices (1/2" Thick Slices) Angel Food Cake, Cut Into 1/2" Cubes

Preparation

For the salad: Toss strawberries and mint together in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, using a mixer, whip whipping cream until stiff peaks form (tip: use a cold metal bowl and cold beaters). Mix in Greek yogurt and honey until combined. Spoon yogurt mixture over strawberries and mint and fold to coat. Cover bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes prior to serving.

For the croutons: Preheat oven to 350 F. Place angel food cake cubes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes prior to serving on top of salad!

To serve: Spoon about 1 cup of strawberry salad into a bowl and top with 1/4 cup croutons. Enjoy!
