Taking your frozen fruits place into a food processor and add in the water.

Strawberry Shortcake: This is a super easy and light dessert that you can share with your special someone. It only takes 3 ingredients and less than 5 minutes to make!

• 2 slices of angel food cake
• 3/4 cup of cool whip
• cut up strawberries

Simply spread a thick layer of cool whip onto a slice of cake and add strawberries. Then, place another slice on top and repeat. You can add as many layers as you want, I used two!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries: A super easy and classic treat for loved ones or simply a dish to pass. Chocolate covered strawberries take little time and are literally mouthwatering! Also you can get as creative as you want when decorating them, the sky's the limit.

Ingredients:

• 10-15 full strawberries
• 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips/chocolate 
• Anything else needed to decorate (sprinkles, drizzled white chocolate, chopped nuts, etc)

Directions:

First, rinse the strawberries and chop off the tops. Then you can either melt the chocolate on the stove or in the microwave for 1 to 11/2 minutes. Dip the strawberries into the warm chocolate and let them cool on parchment paper. Once finished feel free to decorate. The most efficient way of drizzling white chocolate is putting the melted chocolate in a plastic bag and snipping a corner off. Enjoy!
