How to Make this easy dessert recipe?

Using the Microplane, grate the skin of the lemon. Set aside.

Clean the blueberries, set aside to dry on a paper towel.

Clean the strawberries and cut off stems and cut them into thin slices. Set aside to dry on a paper towel.

Cut the Angel food bundt cake into cubes.

Add heaving cream and sugar to the mixer (Affiliate Link). Start the mixer (Affiliate Link) on low and work your way up to high. Let go for a few minutes until it just gets stuff. Then add the lemon rind for a few seconds more. Then slowly mix in the vanilla.

At this point, you can either cut the angel food cake and start layering or you can toast the angel food cake in an air fryer (Affiliate Link).
