  2. Make the Cream Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer (or whisk) until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar, and continue whipping until the cream reaches stiff peaks.

  3. Prepare the Yogurt Layer: In a separate bowl, fold together the Greek yogurt (or mascarpone) with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar. Once smooth, gently fold in a third of the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture for a light texture.

  4. Assemble the Dessert: Begin by layering the bottom of each glass (or your trifle dish) with crushed shortbread biscuits. Add a spoonful of the yogurt-cream mixture, followed by a layer of honeyed strawberries. Repeat the layers until you fill the glasses or dish, finishing with a layer of whipped cream.

Notes

  • Enhancing Flavor: For added depth, try macerating the strawberries with a splash of balsamic vinegar. It brings out the sweetness while adding complexity.
  • Texture Adjustments: If you prefer a crunchy contrast, add toasted almonds or granola between layers.
  • Make-Ahead: You can prepare the layers separately the day before and assemble just before serving to keep the biscuits from becoming too soggy.
