Strawberry shortcake shots are your favorite new boozy dessert

Take a “shot” at making this dessert that looks like it takes way more time to make than it really does.

Let’s agree to pinkie swear that you’ll keep this a secret and not tell anyone just how easy it is to make these super-tasty dessert shots. I love to use shot glasses for desserts for a couple of reasons: 1) because it helps me eat a smaller portion (sometimes), and 2) because desserts look so pretty through glass, especially when layered.

The good news is that these little beauties can be made ahead of time too. For me, the tricky part when making these ahead of time is finding enough room in the fridge to store them before serving.

There’s even a drizzle of chocolate sauce for good measure. Remember, it’s our secret.

Baileys and strawberry shortcake dessert shots recipe

Layers of strawberries are soaked in Baileys and made into a delightful shortcake with chocolate and whipped topping, served in a shot glass.

• 2 angel food cake dessert shells, cut into small pieces
• 3/4 cup Cool Whip topping

4. On top of the strawberries, spoon in the residual Baileys from the bottom of the bowl.
