I bought strawberries this weekend from Costco and they were so sweet! Mmm! Since the container was so big, I decided to freeze half of them. What a dumbo. I took them out of the freezer last night and left them in the fridge so I could eat them today when I got home from work. All I could think about while driving home was fresh strawberries with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. I stopped at Safeway to get the syrup and whipped cream, and noticed they had chocolate sponge cake. Woohoo! Now I'm getting more excited to eat dessert. So I get home, and when I look at the strawberries, they were soft and a little mushy. I guess you can't freeze fresh strawberries, huh? Duh?!?! However, all was not lost - the consistency of the strawberries was sort of like thick, chunky jam. To me this was perfect to layer on top of my sliced sponge cake. Here's how it turned out:
Mmm, it was so delish! It tasted like strawberry chocolate shortcake! Very refreshing and cool, on this warm summer night. Yummy! I have a play date on Sunday, and this is what I'm gonna be taking (along with a healthy pasta salad)! Thanks for visiting and always leaving such nice comments on my blog! Sweet dreams everyone!
Oh Yum, Yum, Yum, can I come to tea, it looks absolutely gorgeous and makes me feel so hungry. Love and hugs Shirleyxxxxxxxxx
