Made with fresh strawberries in just minutes. A perfect summer dessert recipe.

Strawberry Shortcake with whipped cream

Hello Friends! It has been chilly here in Southern California, but I am already thinking of spring. I am so inspired by the lovely Macy's Culinary Council event last night. I shared a lot on my Instagram Stories last night so check it out if you missed it.

Today we are talking dessert. Since we are able to get fresh strawberries nearly year-round here, this quick dessert idea is perfect to bring in a bit of sunshine to the table.

The fresh strawberries are mashed together first and then warmed on the stove.

I like to keep it easy with a store-bought angel food cake, but this recipe works with biscuits, homemade shortbread and even waffles!

Just top whatever bread you use with the strawberries in syrup and top with whipped cream.

We love this treat that incorporates some of the fresh fruit of the season. This also works well by substituting other fresh fruit for the strawberries. You can have this simple dessert on the table in minutes.

    mm.. makes me wish for spring when we get so many strawberries at the tail end of it. I remember in California, my friend making a quick shortcake like this. It was like magic.

    This does sound so good! I just had a sample at Whole Foods of their angel food cake with whipped cream, but it was missing the strawberries. This is fast and delish!

    Any recipe with strawberries is a favorite of mine! Each year of growing-up Strawberry Cream Cake was made on my summer birthday. Your strawberry Shortcake Recipe reminds me of summer get togethers, as well.
