Strawberries are back in season. They are one of my very favorite foods, but I really consider them more of a treat. This dessert is a great one if you need to feed a crowd but don’t want to be standing in the kitchen prepping your dessert. It requires just a few ingredients, is quick to throw together and can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge. It a no hassle version of strawberry shortcake for a crowd. Enjoy!
