Summer strawberry season is in full swing, and that means one thing: strawberry shortcake. And who can resist the simple elegance of this classic summer recipe? Here at the Family Kitchen, we take our strawberry shortcake pretty seriously, and have three awesome recipes for the strawberry lovers at your house.
I grew up knowing Strawberry Shortcake more as a character who battled with the Peculiar Purple Pie Man for reasons unclear than as a dessert, but now it’s one of my favorites. When the first real strawberries start to appear in stores and farmer’s markets, my thoughts immediately turn to strawberry shortcake. We’ve been experimenting with popsicles at Brooklyn Supper HQ lately, so with the start of strawberry season, I thought it would be a great time to try this classic dessert in popsicle form. It was a huge success.
The “shortcake” is actually Nilla wafers we had leftover from making banana pudding, crushed and held together with yogurt and honey. The strawberries are actually strawberries, though. The layering makes this a fun dessert for older kids to help with and the results will be adored by kids and grownups alike.
