Strawberries and Cream Mini Biscuit Trifles

Steps

• 1

  Bake biscuits as directed on bag. Cool completely.

  
• 2

  Finely crumble cooled biscuits with hands into medium bowl. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the sugar and the cinnamon over biscuits; mix with hands.

  
• 3

  In bowl of stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, place cream, 3 tablespoons of the sugar and the vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. (Just a few minutes with a stand mixer; it will take longer with a hand mixer.) Refrigerate until ready to use.

  
• 4

  Place strawberries in medium bowl; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar; mix gently.

  
• 5

  To assemble trifles, place about one-eighth of the biscuit mixture in bottom of each of 4 mini trifle dishes (you can also use mason jars or small glasses); press lightly to compact. Top each with one-eighth of the strawberries and a few tablespoons of whipped cream. Repeat layers; top each with a single cut strawberry. (You will have whipped cream left over.) Store trifles in refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve trifles the day they are made.
