Strawberry Shortcake is a dessert that has been around for centuries. It even has it’s own day. How will YOU celebrate Strawberry Shortcake Day on June 14th? I love traditional strawberry short cake but I wanted to switch it up a little. You can’t go wrong with chocolate, right? I also have an amazing coconut syrup recipe so I decided to combine them all together to make a Strawberry Coconut Chocolate Shortcake.
To make this delicious dessert you’ll combine two recipes:
While your brownies are baking, cook up your coconut syrup and sliced & sugar your strawberries. I highly recommend Driscoll’s strawberries. The ones I bought were absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t find a more perfect box of strawberries. Each and every one was perfectly red, ripe and delicious. I couldn’t help but eat a few as I sliced them up! Slice them any way you like and add a little bit of sugar to them. When your brownies are done and have cooled, use a round cookie cutter to cut a circular portion of brownie. Drizzle with coconut syrup then add your berries. Top with whipped cream and shredded coconut.
I know not everyone loves chocolate and/or coconut. Driscoll’s has some awesome Strawberry Short cake on their website. Here are just a few that stood out to me:
Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake
Blossom Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
Dorrie Greenspan has also created some wonderfully delicious recipes for the holiday. You can find out more and get the recipe for Strawberry Mousse Cheesecake and Double Strawberry & Rose Mini Shortcakes here.
