"Shake, Squish, Squeeze, Until It Freeze"

"STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE PLEASE"

Take me back to the good ol’ days when I was a kid and I’d hear that nostalgic musical melody coming down the street. You’d run in the house and scrape up some spare change or ask your mom for a $1.50 or so and run back out hoping you didn’t miss it, the ice cream truck that is. I knew exactly what I wanted to order every time, a “strawberry shortcake please”. And I’d devour it all up and go back to playing, hide n’ go seek, double dutch, ding dong ditch it, or whatever else I played with my friends. This recipe brings me right back to those days check out the full recipe below.
