Happy 3rd birthday Athletic Avocado!!!!!!! Woohooo party time! Ice cream party time that is! I can’t say I ever had one of those strawberry shortcake ice cream bars, but this looks like a VERY tasty take on it😋 All these ingredients are faves of mine! I was the boring kid who always got vanilla on the rare occasion my parents let me buy ice cream from a truck. Although I feel like there are more ice cream trucks nowadays that I am an adult and don’t care then there were when I was little and went NUTS for it🤔
HAPPY HAPPY Birthday Bethany and Rachel’s blog; I love how you created this recipe as reminiscent of the ice cream truck days. We always lived in a rural neighborhood, and we never had an ice cream truck. But strawberry shortcake ice cream just sounds so good.
Woohooo party time is right! Can’t believe its been 3 long years! Only vanilla? Man, I would get a different flavor every time haha! Thanks Natalie 🙂
