Sweet Treats + Dessert Ideas

Summer might be coming to an end but I just can’t resist a little something sweet to beat the heat especially when it involves my favorite sweet treat ever…ice cream! I’ve teamed up with Sara Lee® and Breyers® to share a few of my favorite quick & easy dessert recipes and ideas. I picked up Sara Lee’s Original Pound Cake Slices and some delish Breyers Strawberry Ice cream from Publix to whip up a few summer-worthy and super simple desserts – check ’em out below!

Not only are these perfect for a small get together on #sundayfunday or a little after-work pick me up but they are sooooo simple to eat. You just grab out of your freezer and go! 

Deconstructed Strawberry Shortcake 

So while this might not be the prettiest of setups, I LOVE a good deconstructed dessert. For a fun spin on the classic strawberry shortcake, I chopped up a few slices of the Sara Lee pound cake and placed the bites in the bottom of a martini glass (note: you can use any dish or glass, I just thought these were super cute). I topped the cake off with a few scoops of strawberry icecream, a ton of whipped cream (because I’m basically a kid) and a few peach slices because nothing screams summer like Georgia peaches. Again, not the best looking thing I’ve ever made but so SO good. 

Pound Cake a la mode

For those moments when you just need to crave a sweet tooth or totally forgot your girls were coming over for Real Housewives, this is the perfect quick + easy dessert recipe. Just pull the pound cake slices out of the freezer and let them thaw for about 5 minutes. Top with a scoop or two of ice cream and serve!
