A few years ago I went to a large fancy breakfast; they served an amazing strawberry soup that was served with crispy croutons. I have wanted to recreate this particular dessert for a long time. This dessert was served at the conclusion of a very fancy brunch. While that occasion was very special, this dessert takes less than 10 minutes to prepare.
To make this dessert, you simply need to cube up the Sara Lee® All Butter Pound Cake into small pieces and toss in a large skillet with some melted butter and allow the pound cake to toast. While pound cake is toasting, you will wash the strawberries, toss them into a blender with some French Vanilla yogurt and a touch of sweetener. Then combine the deliciously toasted cake with the strawberry soup, and you are ready to enjoy this fancy dessert in a flash.
I love desserts in the Spring to be fresh and fast. I went to my local Walmart, and I purchased the Sara Lee® All Butter Pound Cake in the freezer aisle of the grocery store. The price point for the family size is $4.54 and it thaws in only 10 seconds! I also picked up some fresh strawberries and some whipped cream. The versatility of this pound cake is amazing. So often I have used this for Strawberry Shortcake. You could also use the Sara Lee® All Butter Pound Cake to make a homemade trifle. No matter how you use the Sara Lee® All Butter Pound Cake you are going to have a delicious dessert.

TGIFriday’s has soft pretzels with a beer cheese dip. The dip has stuff in it; it is not just cheese.
