We went shopping on Monday since we had no food at all, but sadly there were no strawberries left. So we went back on Wednesday and purchased two packages for 32 DKK (about $5). Just the smell of them was intoxicating! I’ve never smelled strawberries that good!
We decided that we would use Joe’s mixer thing to make some flurry type drinks. We bought some vanilla ice cream and mixed up 5 scoops of ice cream, a bunch of strawberries and some dark chocolate pieces and ended up with some strawberry chocolate milkshakes. YUMMY!!!!!!!
On a kick for more strawberry desserts I headed to the store yesterday in search of stuff to make strawberry shortcake. I found some light yellow cake and whipped cream and was ready to make more treats.
After going to the lake to listen to what was described as the worst band in Denmark we came back and I made us some shortcake. The cake I bought was cut into 3 layers so I started with a layer, added some whipped cream, strawberries, and then more cake, and repeated until all three layers were done and we had a nice little dessert.
Our conclusion is that Danish strawberries are in fact the most amazing strawberries and I’m sure we’ll be eating them all season long. If anyone has any easy strawberry recipes I’d love for you to share. :)
Hope you’re enjoying your delicious summer treats as well. I miss corn on the cob and salt potatoes!!!!!!
