Does a strawberry shortcake need to be refrigerated?

Only the strawberry topping and whipped cream need refrigeration. Keep biscuits in a cool, dry container at room temperature to maintain their texture.

What happens if you put strawberries in an air fryer?

They soften slightly, release juices, and turn syrupy perfect for desserts. Air frying intensifies their sweetness and adds a warm, cooked-fruit flavor.

How long will strawberry shortcake last?

Assembled shortcake should be eaten the same day. However, stored separately, biscuits last 1–2 days and strawberries up to 3 in the fridge.

How do you store strawberry shortcake?

Keep each component separate. Biscuits go in an airtight container; strawberries in the fridge. Reheat biscuits in the air fryer before assembling.
