Layers of buttery pound cake, sweet strawberries, and creamy pudding come together to make this No-Bake Strawberry Shortcake Trifle. For the sake of not having to share, I gave them each their own little jar.

Whew, you guys, it’s hot here, but that’s nothing new. I’m sure most of you are experiencing high temperatures, humidity, and uncontrollable sweating in places you never thought you could sweat… TMI?

I’ve been living under permanent lockdown since the thermometer started pushing 100 degrees last week. I keep the shades drawn and the air conditioning rockin’ at a solid 70 degrees at all times. If I have to go out of my house, it’s usually for food, and even then I’m not happy about it. No sooner I step onto my front porch, I’m hit with what feels like a cloud of hot breath. <— Just the thing you want to hear when we’re chatting about food. Oh well, it’s the honest truth.

That being said, there’s no way I’m turning on my oven and compromising the cool air pumping from my vents, so I made you a no-bake dessert instead, because there’s no way I’m giving up dessert on account of the heat.

This No-Bake Strawberry Shortcake Trifle uses the help of the grocery to create the layers of flavor stacked in these cute little pint-sized mason jars, because who wants to share when you don’t have to? I purchased a pre-made vanilla poundcake, a box of instant cheesecake pudding, fresh strawberries, and a container of whipped topping from my local Food Lion. A few turns of the whisk and a bit of layering is all the effort that is required to create these individual snacks.
