If you’re looking for an easy recipe to show off on 4th of July or a family party, you have to try my Strawberry Shortcake Trifle.

Every year we usually have a big family BBQ for the 4th of July and this is my go-to recipe.

After a long day of swimming and family togetherness it’s nice to be able to bring a dessert that both kids and adults keep coming back for more.

This year our 4th of July party will be a little bit smaller, but I will still be bringing this yummy dessert for our family to enjoy.
