Summer may be coming to an end but it’s never too late for frozen desserts, right? I don’t know about you, but I still crave frozen desserts even during the winter season. These Strawberries and Cream Bars are a sweet treat you’ll be craving even when your driveway is covered in snow. Plus, you’ll deserve a treat after all that shovelling. Okay, I’m going to stop talking about snow now before I start crying. Ha! Winter isn’t my favourite season and we still have lots of hot summer days to enjoy before the snow falls so let’s get those flip flops on, get outside and enjoy the warm weather while we can. Oh wait! Maybe let’s talk about this dessert first…then go outside in your fanciest flip flops and head to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for this dessert!
