This fluffy, creamy strawberry shortcake comes from Agnes Ward of Stratford, Ontario, who adapted it from her sister's recipe. The drizzle of chocolate sauce on top is a great addition to this sweet, delightful dessert. Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
dash salt |
2 tablespoons water |
1/2 cup crushed strawberries |
1 drop red food coloring, optional |
2 individual round sponge cakes |
2/3 cup sliced fresh strawberries |
1/3 cup whipped topping |
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in water and crushed strawberries. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Add food coloring if desired.
2. Place sponge cakes on a serving plate. Top with strawberry sauce, sliced strawberries, whipped topping and chocolate syrup if desired. Yield: 2 servings.
