Ingredients
  

  • shortbread cakes
  • Cool whip
  • Seedless raspberry jam
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Fresh mint
  • Lemon extract or zest Optional

Instructions
 

  • Add seedless jam to a bowl and stir. The jam will become runnier and be the perfect consistency for a sauce! Add a drop or two of lemon extract or a pinch of lemon zest (optional but adds yummy flavor!)
    It's obviously very sweet and concentrated so I just use a small amount on top!
    Top shortbread with a dollop of cool whip. Top with fresh fruit and a mint sprig. Now add the jam topping and serve chilled!
    This dessert is so quick and easy to prepare, yet its a showstopper in the presentation department!
