Strawberry Shortcake Crumble with Cream Cheese Frosting

Summer is coming to a close soon, so we’re out gathering the good stuff and creating a whole lotta’ deliciousness! Recently, I picked up strawberries from our local farmer’s market, so I decided to recreate a childhood favorite with a little bit of help from our friends from Pillsbury. Let me say this, Pillsbury™ Filled Pastry Bag with a built-in star tip takes the whole strawberry shortcake game to the next level. I used the Cream Cheese Frosting, and it worked like a charm. Can you say, flawless? Whether you are putting the finishing touches on cupcakes, cakes, or any other delicious dessert delicacy, the new Pillsbury Filled Pastry Bag is the right choice.

Okay, a little backstory…

Way back in the day when I was just a wee lad, my mama used to surprise us with strawberry shortcake. I remember those summer days when my parents would take my siblings and me to the nearby strawberry farm. We would pick an insane amount of fresh strawberries. Mama would inspect each carton of strawberries we picked to ensure she had the good berries she needed to work her strawberry preserves magic. Then we would head home and help her get the strawberries ready to be made into preserves. We cleaned, quartered, and did whatever was needed to ensure a seamless process. After the preserves were finally in the Mason jars and cooling, mama would take the remaining strawberries, add sugar, and place them in the refrigerator. Then she would whip up homemade shortcake biscuits. Heavy cream got turned into fresh and sinfully delicious whipped cream. After dinner, we were treated to strawberry shortcake with sweet strawberries and whipped cream. So good! 

My redux of my mama’s strawberry shortcake recipe deviates slightly but is just as good. Don’t worry; I have the homemade shortcake biscuits and the fresh strawberries drenched in lots of strawberry syrup. However, I replaced the whipped cream with Pillsbury Pastry Bag Cream Cheese Frosting, and it’s just as good. And not only is it delicious, but it is a huge time-saver!

This is a new Pillsbury product available in-stores now. The Pastry Bag comes in three different flavors, vanilla, chocolate fudge, and cream cheese. With the holidays coming up, this is a GREAT baking hack for parents, chefs, bakers, and anyone who plans to be in the kitchen this baking season. 

My wife is also in love with these Pastry Bags from Pillsbury. We’re already thinking of all the desserts we can make this holiday season (and beyond), like cupcakes, sugar cookies with frosting, parfait, cakes, and more.

We’re getting close to the baking season, and I’m starting to think about recipes I want to make for the holidays. Being the dad of three awesome boys, I want to recreate as many of my mama’s recipes for them to enjoy. Great childhood memories involve good food, and I’m picking up the mantle to do the same for my family. Look down below for our super easy and incredibly delicious Strawberry Shortcake Crumble + Cream Cheese Frosting.
