Instructions
- Prepare Donuts: Slice the glazed donuts in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer for each shortcake.
- Make Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Beat on high speed until soft peaks form, making sure not to over-whip.
- Assemble the Shortcakes: Place the bottom half of a donut on a serving plate. Top generously with fresh whipped cream, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries. Add another dollop of whipped cream, then place the other half of the donut on top to create a sandwich.

- Chill the bowl and beaters before making whipped cream for best results.
- You can macerate the strawberries with a little sugar if you like extra sweetness.
- Best served immediately to enjoy the fresh whipped cream and donut texture.
