Strawberry Shortcake Sundae: Frosty Twist on a Classic
This Strawberry Shortcake Sundae features little pieces of angel food cake at the bottom of the dish that soak up the luscious melting Vanilla Ice Cream and fresh strawberry juices. A dollop of whipped cream adds airiness and a little extra cream for the strawberries, but honestly could be skipped. While my daughter and I like it, the ice cream does provide ample creaminess.

There is no baking to make this dessert, thanks to angel food cake from Walmart's bakery department. The only work involved in making this Strawberry Shortcake Sundae is slicing the strawberries and the cake. The strawberries are simply stewed in a little sugar, which naturally draws out the juices creating a syrup.
A strawberry ice cream sundae is the perfect end to any meal, especially in the summer months.
