Strawberry Shortcake Push Pops with Lemon Whipping Cream

Strawberry shortcake push pops with lemon whipping cream are easy to make and fun to eat. They are made with store bought cake, fresh strawberry’s and whipped cream with a hint of lemon.It’s officially spring and here in the south everything is starting to bloom and the pollen is kicking up! It’s also a busy time for us with baseball games and practices and lots of school stuff. These push pops look like they take a lot of effort but they are so easy to make when you don’t have a lot of time and really WOW the crowd when you bring to a special event. They are great for birthday parties, valentines or the 4th of July. I bought reusable push pop containers and used them to cut store bought angel food cake into the correct size and shape so they would fit perfectly.

Then I diced up some fresh strawberries and made a lemon whipping cream recipe that adds a citrus freshness to these strawberry shortcake push pops you are going to love I promise. I put the lemon whipping cream in a ziplock bag and snipped the end off to pipe it into the push pop containers.

Next I diced my strawberries and I was ready to assemble my strawberry shortcake push pops starting with a layer of cake, whipping cream and then strawberries. Repeat layers until your push pop is filled. You can make these up to two days ahead of time and refrigerate with the tops on. When you are ready to serve just add another dollop of whipped cream on top and garnish with a strawberry slice.
