Val Hacks: Strawberry Shortcake
“Val Hacks” is a column dedicated to exploring the culinary possibilities of Valentine Dining Hall. This week, Ivy Haight ’25 presents her recipe for strawberry shortcake.
The Secret to Strawberry Shortcake
When presented with the components of “strawberry shortcake” at Val, some questions might come across your mind: What is strawberry shortcake? How can cake be short? And what do strawberries have to do with it? I don’t have the answer for any of these questions, but I can say that I have perfected the strawberry shortcake recipe at Val.
Directions
In a bowl, mix together ingredients in the following ratio:
3/5 vanilla soft serve
1/5 strawberry compote
1/5 dairy-free whipped topping (trust me on this one — the dairy-free is better)
On a separate plate:
Gluten-free biscuit
The key here is to heat up the biscuit for 8 to 12 seconds. It’s a game changer. The biscuits look moist, but they’re not, and the microwave solves all your problems. From there, you can dip the biscuit in the strawberry-soft-serve whipped topping concoction.
