Recipe for Blueberry Shortcake Dessert

This recipe makes 3 shortcake blueberry desserts. If you are needing to serve more, just double to triple the ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1 lb. package blueberries
• 6 packaged shortcakes
• whipped topping

How To Make Blueberry Shortcake Dessert with Fresh Blueberry Sauce:

1. Wash your fresh blueberries and then place them into a bowl. Now we are going to make the fresh blueberry shortcake sauce.
2. Cover the blueberries with half a cup of sugar and smash them with a potato masher. If you don’t have a masher, a wooden spoon can work but it’s a lot more work to smash the blueberries.
3. Place the smashed blueberries into the fridge for at least two hours. This will allow them to soak up the sugar completely and let even more juice come out.
4. Place a mini shortcake on the plate and add some of the blueberry mixture and whipped topping.
5. Then add another shortcake on top, and top with more of the blueberry mixture and whipped topping.

You can enjoy it as it is or top the complete shortcakes with the rest of the blueberry shortcake mixture.

We like to serve these right away but you can place them in the fridge until you are ready to enjoy them. Keep an eye on them though because depending on the shortcakes you use, they may get soggy.
