Doughnut Strawberry Shortcake Recipe for Serious Eats

I'm not going to say that Doughnut Strawberry Shortcake is a million times better than regular Strawberry Shortcake. But I am pretty confident in saying that it's at least a hundred times better.

It's a beautiful balancing act: the holey rounds of lightly crispy fried dough act as perfect bookends for the filling of light-as-air whipped cream and juicy strawberry slices. The doughnut slices absorb just enough of the whipped cream so that the flavors combine, making for bite after perfect creamy bite. The strawberries cut through the richness of the cream, adding a pleasing fresh quality to every bite (and help give the impression of a slightly more virtuous dessert.) With fresh strawberries coming to markets in delicious abundance, it's the perfect sweet, late-spring treat, as tasty for breakfast as it is after dinner.
