A quick and easy no-bake dessert combining creamy whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, fresh strawberries, and crumbly shortcake crumbs for a refreshing summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shortcake or biscuit crumbs, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Crush store-bought biscuits or shortcake into coarse crumbs. Set aside about 1/2 cup for topping.
  3. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream, then fold in the macerated strawberries with syrup and most of the shortcake crumbs, reserving some crumbs for topping.
  6. Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, pour the mixture evenly into the pan, and sprinkle reserved crumbs on top.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Use the parchment overhang to lift the frozen block from the pan, cut into bars with a sharp knife warmed under hot water, and serve immediately or keep frozen.

Notes

Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Macerate strawberries well to create flavorful syrup. Fold ingredients gently to keep mixture airy. Freeze overnight for best slicing results. Use a warm knife for clean cuts. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use coconut-based condensed milk. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained.
