Enjoy a warm and comforting Crockpot Strawberry Shortcake that's easy to prepare and perfect for a delightful dessert. Sweet strawberries simmer with sugar, topped with a moist cake layer cooked slowly in the crockpot for a tender, luscious treat. Serve it with whipped cream for the perfect finish.

Ingredients

Strawberry Base

  • 2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Cake Batter

  • 1 box cake mix (any white or yellow cake mix)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Optional Topping

  • Whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the sugar and mix well to coat. Then place the sugared strawberries evenly at the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Make cake batter: In a separate bowl, mix together the cake mix, milk, and melted butter until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Layer the batter: Pour the cake batter evenly over the strawberries in the crockpot, spreading gently for an even layer.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 4 hours until the cake is set and cooked through, and the strawberries are soft and bubbly.
  5. Serve: Spoon the warm strawberry shortcake into bowls and top with whipped cream as desired for a creamy, delightful finish.

Notes

  • Using a white or yellow cake mix works best for a classic flavor, but you can try other flavors for variation.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free cake mix.
  • If you prefer a thicker strawberry base, reduce the sugar slightly to avoid excess liquid.
  • Ensure the melted butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the batter prematurely.
  • Keep the crockpot temperature low to prevent burning and uneven cooking.
  • Whipped cream can be homemade or store-bought depending on your preference.
