Time 1h15m

Yield 6 mini sundaes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil
3/4 cup strawberry ice cream
3 tablespoons store-bought shortcake, diced
1 tablespoon strawberry sauce
Whipped cream, from a 6.5-ounce can
3 teaspoons red sprinkles
3/4 cup coffee ice cream
1 to 2 tablespoons chocolate-covered toffee bits
1 tablespoon chopped pecans
1 tablespoon store-bought caramel sauce
Whipped cream, from a 6.5-ounce can
3 teaspoons chocolate sprinkles

Steps:

  • For the chocolate cups: Add the milk chocolate chips to a heatproof bowl. Add the white chocolate chips to a second heatproof bowl. Divide the coconut oil between the two bowls and microwave separately in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until completely smooth, about 1 minute total. Set aside and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Using a pastry brush, paint the entire inside of three cupcake liners with the melted white chocolate; don't be shy-really slather it on. Transfer to a plate. Do the same with the melted milk chocolate and three more cupcake liners. Place on the plate, next to the white chocolate cups, and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes. Remove the cups and repeat for a second layer. Return the plate to the refrigerator until the chocolate is completely set, at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove the cups from the refrigerator and carefully peel the cupcake liners away from the chocolate. Use immediately or return to the fridge until ready to use.
  • For the strawberry shortcake sundaes: Scoop 3 tablespoon-size scoops strawberry ice cream into each white chocolate cup. Top each with the shortcake, strawberry sauce, whipped cream and red sprinkles.
  • For the toffee coffee sundaes: Scoop 3 tablespoon-size scoops coffee ice cream into each milk chocolate cup. Top each with the toffee bits, pecans, caramel sauce, whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE SUNDAES FOR TWO



Strawberry Shortcake Sundaes for Two image

I came up with this recipe to help use up all the strawberry ice cream I've ended up with. I like to serve these sundaes in tumblers / mixer glasses but you could use any glass you prefer. If you do not have fresh strawberries, frozen strawberries which have been drained are fine (spoon a little juice over the sponge if you like!). This is a very quick dessert to put together & is beautiful to look at.

Time 4m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 -1 1/2 cup strawberry ice cream
2 pieces vanilla sponge cakes (I use a basic victoria sponge cut to the size of my tumblers)
1 cup whipped cream (or you can use squirty cream)
10 fresh strawberries

Steps:

  • Place the sponge cake in the bottom of each glass. Press down gently to make sure the entire base is covered.
  • Hull & slice 2 strawberries & cover the sponge bases.
  • Spoon the ice cream over the top of the strawberries.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh strawberries that are ripe and juicy.
  • If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • To make the shortcakes, you can use a biscuit mix or a muffin mix. If you're using a biscuit mix, be sure to follow the package directions for preparing the biscuits.
  • If you're using a muffin mix, you can either prepare the muffins according to the package directions or bake them in a muffin tin for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • To make the whipped cream, you can use heavy cream or whipping cream. If you're using heavy cream, you'll need to whip it for a few minutes until it forms stiff peaks.
  • If you're using whipping cream, you'll need to whip it for a few minutes until it forms soft peaks.
  • To assemble the sundaes, place a shortcake in a bowl or glass. Top with strawberries, whipped cream, and a drizzle of strawberry sauce.

Conclusion:

Strawberry shortcake sundaes are a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give strawberry shortcake sundaes a try!
