Strawberry Shortcake Power Wheels Dessert

• Time: 10 minutes
• Yield: 4

Ingredients & Tools

• 4 Strawberry Shortcake Power Wheels
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (optional)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  

Directions

1. Make strawberry sauce: In a small skillet over medium heat, add sliced strawberries and lemon juice. Allow the strawberries to cook down for just 1–2 minutes, until juices start to release. Transfer to a heat proof bowl and rest on the counter for 5 minutes before transferring to the fridge.
2. Make the whipped cream: In a cold metal bowl using an electric mixer, beat together heavy whipping cream, sugar (if using) and vanilla on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take 3–5 minutes.
3. Assemble: Place one Strawberry Shortcake Power Wheels bar in a small shallow dish. Cover with whipped cream and spoon on fresh strawberries. 

Notes

• Feel free to use freshly sliced strawberries to top the shortcake. Cooking them down gives them more flavor and juice without adding extra sugar, compared to traditional strawberry shortcake.
• Whipped cream will keep for 1 day in the fridge. Rewhip for a minute before serving. Or, add straight to your morning coffee.
