Strawberries Lenox Shortcake

Strawberries Lenox Shortcake – a simple and easy dessert made with a store-bought pound cake, fresh whipped cream and fresh strawberries soaked in a flavorful syrup. Your family will enjoy it and it’s a great recipe to serve to your guests.

I could eat this dessert all day long.

My mother used to make Strawberries Lenox every summer when I was young. I LOVED that dessert! There was so much excitement when I’d see that orange Tupperware container sitting on the bottom shelf of the fridge because I always knew what was in it.

I took this wonderful dessert one step further by creating a shortcake dessert with it. We’ve always loved strawberry shortcake, and I thought the Strawberries Lenox would give the dessert an extra special something and it most definitely does.

This is one dessert I know my family will be eating again and again. You can make it even more homemade by making the pound cake from scratch. If you prefer Cool Whip, you can use that, too in place of the whipped cream.

AND, if the use of alcohol is a concern, it tastes just great if Blue Curaçao is omitted. No biggie. That’s what mom used to do for me – just the orange juice and the sugar and I loved it.
