Strawberry Shortcake

May 26th, 2010

Strawberry shortcake is one of those desserts that is just as fantastic now as it was when I was a child.* What’s even more exciting is how easy it is to whip together on a random weeknight when strawberries are finally in season (I made an exception a couple months ago here). I used this recipe, which was exceedingly simple and took full advantage of the fresh berries and flaky biscuits.

*The same cannot be said about Pop-Tarts, Bubble Gum ice cream and Candy Buttons.

Emily! this is my all time favorite dessert. I love strawberries so much. I had a friend in high school who made me a strawberry shortcake for my bday every year. For my baby shower a few weeks ago my mom and sister got me a fabulous strawberry shortcake but on top of all the usual goodies that come with the cake, the bakery added a layer of dulce de leche – one of my all-time favorites. It was BEYOND! so so so good!!! these look amazing. I have to try the recipe.
PS–I will definitely take you up on your offer to go to the blow dry salon next time I’m in LA! My cousin is a stylist and has a salon in laguna beach. I’m going to tell her about this place…she’s going to LOVE it.

This looks so delicious. I doubt you’ll get a chance to read this with all of these comments but my mother and I used to make biscuits, and prepare the strawberries just like you did but instead of cool whip etc we just placed the biscuit in a bowl, poured milk over it and broke up the biscuit and then topped it all with strawberries. I was more like Strawberry Cereal than shortcakes but it was SO tasty. I remember having this for dinner some nights – I always loved random not normal dinner nights. ox
