Recipes for Real People
Nothing says summer to me more than a cool crisp strawberry dessert. This strawberry ice box cake is something I have been making for years, way before I saw poke cakes on pinterest made with pudding. I am so old that pinterest didn’t exist when I came up with this yummy dessert….gasp lol. This cake is one of those cakes that you can bring to a gathering and it will be the first thing to go. It is so delicious but you don’t have to tell anyone how easy it is.

It’s funny how I get inspirations for recipes . Sometimes I try something and think of ways I could totally make it better. Then there are the times I just dream up crazy things and give it a try.

One morning we ate at a little place for breakfast where I got a fluffy Belgium waffle and it was amazing. It was served with a strawberry whipped butter and I fell in love with this delicious spread so much I opted not to use syrup. I adored how it was slightly sweet but didn’t give you a sugar rush like syrup. This inspired me to experiment with this concept at home.

Since I was a nice girl and didn’t rip the recipe out of the magazine all I had was my memory. I could remember strawberries , raisins and lemon juice, the rest I was on my own. So over the past 14 years and making this many many times I have tweaked this recipe and now this is the perfect Strawberry Lemon Coleslaw.
