Show Us Your Life: Desserts

I just started this part of a blog. I had seen it before but wasn't sure if i could actually do it but i can so here we go : )


Today for Kelly's Korner show us your life is desserts.

One of my all time favorite desserts is Strawberry Shortcake. I must say when i make it i cheat. I do the mini shortcakes with the pre-made shells but it still taste just as good. Plus if your not so good at baking this is perfect because its a no bake recipe and whips up in no time!



**Recipe For Mini Strawberry Shortcakes:

What You'll need:

-pre-made shortcake shells

-fresh strawberries or frozen depends on your preference

-wipped cream or heavy cream

-strawberry glaze


Directions:

-remove the tops of the strawberries and then cut them into quarters. If frozen let thaw and cut if needed.

- after you have cut your strawberries your going to want to put them in a mixing bowl and pour in your strawberry glaze. (i normally refrigerate the glaze until im ready to use it so its nice and chilled.)

- once you have your strawberries and glaze mixed together you can take a spoon and put your strawberries and glaze into the shells. Or you can put the strawberries in the shells first then put the glaze. (you can use as much or little as you like.)

- after you have put the strawberries and glaze into the shells you can add your whipped cream or let your guests add their own.

Depending on how many people you are serving determines the amount of shells, strawberries and jars of glaze you will need.

**I reccomend using fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream for this recipe but thats totally up to your preference.

Once Your Done It Should Look Like This:





Also here is a quick and easy recipe i use for homemade whipped cream:

1/2 pt. whipping cream
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Whip cream with mixer. Be careful not to overbeat or else will get too thick like butter. When it begins to thicken, add sugar and vanilla; stir. Refrigerate.
