Strawberry shortcake cups layered with whipped cream and fresh strawberries

Let the berries sit with the sugar 10 minutes — they make their own syrup.

How to make it

Sweeten the berries. In a bowl, mix the sliced strawberries and sugar, and let sit 10 minutes.
Whip the cream. If using heavy cream, whip it with the vanilla till soft peaks. If using whipped topping, skip this.
Layer the cups. In each cup, layer cake cubes, berries with their syrup, and whipped cream. Repeat once.
Serve. Serve right away, or chill up to 2 hours.
