Things to know
This is how Mom makes strawberry shortcake, so yes.... you could call me lazy, BUT I'm handing down a tried and true family recipe! 😉
This is the only way I make strawberry shortcake now!
So, don't be stuffy and turn your nose up. Cornbread is naturally sweet and makes the BEST shortbread you've ever tried. The combination is amazing, I love it and I know you will too!
Done! Quick, simple and delicious!
How to pick good strawberries
- Buy local if possible. If the strawberries are shipped in, they will be several days old before you see them in the stores.
- Organic strawberries may not be uniform in size or shape but they will have better flavor.
- Choose berries that are deep red in color. Color equals flavor. Unlike other fruit strawberries do not continue to ripen after being picked.
- Visit your local farmers market and choose fruit that is in season.
- Do not choose berries with even the slightest bit of mold on them. They may not even last a single day!
I confess, this is really the laziest of desserts. Yes... you can make fresh whipped cream. In fact, you could still put this together in about 10 minutes. But another shortcut - I use Cool Whip or ice cream!
Enjoy this yummy dessert! Keeping it simple will keep you outa the kitchen and enjoying time with family and friends! AND Wow then with a great dessert!
