A simple but tasty dessert that is hot regardless of the time of year. When you have friends round for dinner and everything has gone well so far. Serving Strawberry Shortcake as a dessert quite literally finishes the meal with style. This is a dessert that my grandchildren love to help make and each one is unique!! Following the cooking instructions, you will end up with perfectly soft and texture full shortcake. I normally use whipped cream but you can use double cream and whip it until it maintains soft peaks. This is one of my favourite desserts especially as I don’t normally have one.
When making Strawberry Shortcake, I often use a pastry cutter to cut individual size portions and make them into smaller towers.
