Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup TCBY frozen yogurt
- 1 cup strawberry cake mix
- 1/2 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup whipped cream
- 4 jars for serving
Instructions
- Remove TCBY frozen yogurt from the freezer and let it soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to achieve a creamy consistency.
- Wash and carefully chop fresh strawberries into small, uniform pieces, ensuring they are clean and dry.
- In a mixing bowl, gently fold the softened TCBY frozen yogurt with the strawberry cake mix until thoroughly combined, creating a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Carefully layer the mixture into clean, clear glass jars, starting with a base of the yogurt-cake mix blend.
- Add a layer of chopped fresh strawberries over the yogurt mixture, distributing them evenly.
- Top each jar with a generous dollop of whipped cream, creating an elegant and fluffy surface.
- Optional: Garnish with additional strawberry pieces or a light dusting of cake mix for visual appeal.
- Chill the jars in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and mixture to set.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful layers of strawberry, frozen yogurt, and cake mix.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Allow your TCBY frozen yogurt to soften just right - too hard, and it won't mix; too melted, and you'll lose the creamy texture.
- Strawberry Perfection: Choose fresh, ripe strawberries and pat them dry after washing to prevent excess moisture in your layers.
- Mixing Magic: Fold the yogurt and cake mix gently to maintain a light, airy consistency - avoid overmixing.
- Layering Like a Pro: Use a clear glass jar to showcase the beautiful layers, and create visual interest by ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Chill Factor: The brief refrigeration time helps set the dessert and allows flavors to meld beautifully.
- Presentation Matters: Use a piping bag for the whipped cream to create a professional, Instagram-worthy finish.
- Make Ahead: These jars can be prepared up to a few hours in advance, making them perfect for entertaining.
