Easy Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
Strawberry Shortcake Dessert
Ingredients:
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
- cup white sugar (or to taste)

- 1 (7 ounce) can whipped cream (or to taste)
Directions:
- Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl. Add the white sugar and stir until the strawberries are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 15 minutes, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the strawberries to release their juices.

- Finish by topping each dessert with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Recipe Tip: If you prefer, you can use whipped topping instead of whipped cream for a lighter alternative.

Made it with a home-made cake rather than store bought, but I needed to know how to do a strawberry shortcake and used this recipe for the berries and cream part. The strawberries turned out super delicious with a nice looking glaze from the melted sugar - like strawberries on a store bought, pre-made cake. Used cool whip and they went great together. I was worried that I needed to make a strawberry spread as well to layer with the cool whip, but it was plenty sweet with the cool whip and sugary strawberries, so there was no need. Plus once I put the strawberries on the cool whip, some of the juice melted into the cool whip anyway, made it even more delicious. Also did this with raspberries, and they turned out just as delicious. Very quick and easy, plus it looks pretty so guests will be impressed. Thanks for the recipe!

I added 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to the strawberry sugar mixture and allowed to mascerate in the refrigerator over night to develop a syrup. This is the OG somertime dessert. I've had it made the way this recipe recommended and its 🔥 that way too.

Easy to do and yet as simple as a family treat or an dinner with family and friends. Just simmer extra berries and put the extra lot in the freezer for a quick snack

Simple and Easy. We used fresh strawberries as they are plentiful this time of year and there were no leftovers.
