Strawberry Shortcake Sundae Recipe

A Strawberry Shortcake Sundae is a yummy treat anytime of the year! Make it a Red White and Blue Sundae and it’s a perfect way to serve up a Patriotic dish!

During the Summer there is nothing better then creating a recipe made from strawberries straight from the garden!

 

This Shortcake recipe is a bit different as it uses Angel Food cake as the shortcake. But this unique combination of ingredients really works!  Trust me!

COULD I USE POUND CAKE INSTEAD OF ANGEL FOOD CAKE?

Absolutely!  Any type of cake would work well with this recipe.

COULD I USE FROZEN YOGURT INSTEAD OF THE ICE CREAM?

Sure, that will work too.

WOULD USING COOL WHIP INSTEAD OF THE ICE CREAM WORK?

That would be divine!  One of the pluses of using whipped cream instead of ice cream is that you won’t have to worry about it melting as quickly.

Strawberries will soon be in season in a lot of the country.  If you are looking for ways to use up your fresh berries, I have some tasty ideas for you!

For breakfast, have you ever tried French Toast that is filled with strawberries?  It is divine!  If you are looking for a refreshing berry cocktail then our Mojito recipe with Strawberries and Kiwi is worth checking out.

 

How to make a Patriotic Strawberry Shortcake Sundae

Ingredients:

* Vanilla Ice Cream

* Angel Food Cake Mix

* Blue Food Coloring

* Strawberries in Syrup

Supplies needed:

Sundae dishes

Ice cream scoop

Muffin pan

Directions:

Following the directions on your cake mix box, preheat the oven and mix together your ingredients. 

Prepare your muffin tins with paper or silicone liners or grease the tins.

While the mixer is on low speed, slowly incorporate the blue food coloring. Start by adding in 5 drops then if the coloring isn’t what you are looking for, add in more one drop at a time.

Fill each liner about 2/3rds of the way full.

Place in the oven and bake as directed on the box.

*Tip: These will cook faster so you will need to keep an eye on them.

To check the doneness of the shortcake, use a toothpick and insert into the middle.  If it’s clear then they are done.

Once they are done, take them out of the oven and dump them onto a baking sheet and allow them to cool.

When they  have cooled, cut two of the shortcakes into fourths and place a few pieces into your sundae cup or bowl.

Spoon some ice cream on top.

Add a few more pieces of your angel food shortcake, then add your berries!
