10 Reinvented Dairy-Free Strawberry Shortcake Recipes!

When you have a bag of fresh strawberries, there are a lot of things you can do with them. You can simply enjoy them on their own. You can chop them up and throw them in a salad to add a tart sweetness to your lunch.

But best of all, you can use them in desserts! We’re talking strawberry shortcake: classic, beautiful, yummy. While enjoying strawberry shortcake in its traditional form sure is nice, we here at One Green Planet like to take things up a notch.

What if you took a strawberry shortcake and recreated it in different ways? That’s exactly what our recipe authors did here in this super awesome list. We went through the Food Monster App and found 10 creative ways to freshen up your strawberry shortcakes. Grab a fork!

Crisp-ifying this classic dessert means it takes less effort to build, less time to bake, and as such, there’s less time waiting before digging in.

This Strawberry Shortcake by Spork Foods is pretty quick to put together and a lot of fun to eat, because it is a little messy. You can try serving these shortcakes with a spork and knife, but they should be considered finger food. If it’s too hot outside to bake the biscuits, serving the whipped cream and berries as dessert ain’t half bad either. And just a little word of warning: These shortcakes may look cute and innocent, but they’re addictive.

6. Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie
