I shared this post last week for Foodie Friday with Mississippi Women’s Bloggers and it’s so delicious and wonderful, I wanted to make sure that my other readers got the chance to indulge as well! My mom made this recipe for us and we all fell in love with it. It’s simple, delicious, somewhat on the healthy side and can be converted into the perfect Fourth of July Dessert! Although the Fourth is past us, it’s never a bad day to celebrate freedom and even if you aren’t celebrating the fourth, I think adding in extra berries makes this a fabulous summer dessert!
Straw{berry} Shortcake

Other Berries if you so please!
Other Berries if you so please!
Directions:
1. Wash and cut up strawberries.
2. Drizzle a heaping of agave nectar in with the strawberries
*Honestly, I don’t measure, so use as much or as little as you want*
3. Begin layering your shortcake: Take 3 lady fingers and lay on the plate, scoop a layer of the strawberry mixture, and a dollop of cool whip.
4. Continue on for one more layer: lady fingers, strawberry mixture, cool whip.
5. ENJOY!
Fourth of July twist: Add some blueberries (or blackberries) for that red, white, & blue excitement!
This made my foodie mouth water! This looks heavenly – can’t wait to try it!
