Looking for a new twist on strawberry shortcake? Try this fun strawberry chips and dip dessert recipe made with delicious poundcake chips.

We have strawberry obsession in this house, anyone else?  I don’t want to live in a world without them, in the summer we just can’t get enough!  Haley and I love to get creative while cooking together in the kitchen… we have so much fun together.  Well… until it’s time to clean up, we’re a little messy.  Just recently we had an idea to put a fun new twist on strawberry shortcake, and our strawberry shortcake chips and dip dessert idea was born.

I mean who doesn’t love strawberry shortcake?  We packed all the delicious flavors of strawberry shortcake into this dessert dip.  We’ve combined strawberries with a whipped topping and cream cheese to create a delicious dessert dip that’s rich and creamy but yet still light.  The poundcake chips are a fun twist, and so simple to make!

Strawberry Shortcake Chips and Dip Dessert

Once you make your own poundcake dessert chips you’ll be hooked wondering what else you can dip them in.  Hello chocolate sauce!  You can find frozen loaves of poundcake in the frozen desserts section of the grocery store.  Slicing them frozen makes it simple to get nice thin slices.

Since moving to the mountains I’ve had a little drama in the kitchen.  Things cook a little slower at high altitude and it’s thrown me off a bit.  I had to increase my baking time for the chips… I’ve done my best to find a general bake time, and all ovens bake differently, so just keep an eye on the poundcake slices and you’ll be fine.

This dip is delicious served immediately or chilled… either way you can’t go wrong.  The recipe makes a little over 2 cups, if you’re having a large gathering consider doubling the recipe.
