Strawberry Shortcake Jars

A dessert that tastes like summer: layers of fresh strawberries, cream, and Walker's Shortbread all-butter Shortbread Highlanders for the ultimate buttery crunch.

Ingredients

Strawberries

3 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar

4 halved strawberries, for garnish

Whipped Cream

1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream

3 tbsp powdered sugar

1/2 cup powdered sugar

3/4 tsp vanilla extract

Shortbread

8 whole Walker’s Highlanders
2 cookies per jar

1/2 cup milk, for dipping

Method

Make the whipped cream:
Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.

 

Prep the strawberries:
Add sliced strawberries and sugar to a bowl. Toss together and let sit for 10-15 minutes, until the berries release their juices.

 

Dip the cookies:
Quickly dip one whole Walker’s Highlander in milk. Don’t soak it, just a quick dip so it softens slightly while still holding its shape.

 

Assemble each jar:
Add one dipped Highlander to the bottom of each jar. Spoon in a layer of strawberries, then add a layer of whipped cream.

 

Repeat the layers:
Add a second dipped Highlander, followed by more strawberries and whipped cream.

 

Finish:
Top each jar with a whole fresh strawberry. Chill until ready to serve.
