Easy Strawberry Shortcake

This easy strawberry shortcake combines warm biscuits, juicy strawberries, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream making this a favorite summer dessert!

Did you know that (today) June 14th is National Strawberry Shortcake day? Each year it’s celebrated on this day during the peak of strawberry season. This day also recognizes the coming of summer, which officially starts on June 21st. Strawberry season runs from April-June and throughout this time you will find the most ripe, juicy and delicious strawberries. Whether you pick them or they are in the grocery stores, you’ll find an abundance of them. Although I never need a reason to make strawberry shortcake, I am going to make it for dessert tonight.

Making biscuits are easy, but making them with the assistance of Bisquick is even easier. All you need to do is put the Bisquick in a mixing bowl, add milk, sugar, melted butter and mix. Bake for 10-12 minutes and done! Perfect and delicious warm biscuits for your shortcake.

I love ice cream and although the traditional strawberry shortcake omits ice cream, this one doesn’t. I think adding vanilla ice cream to this traditional dessert makes it even better! So if you are feeling adventurous then grab your ice cream and let’s get started!
