- To make the strawberry sauce, add the chopped strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a medium-size saucepan.
- Heat mixture over medium heat and bring to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling, reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stirring most of the time.
- The strawberries will cook down and a sauce will form. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Scoop any flavor of ice-cream into the waffle bowls and spoon the strawberry sauce over the top and Enjoy!!
- If any sauce is leftover, place in a jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Tips: Let the chocolate set fully before adding ice cream to avoid smudging. Stir the strawberry sauce often to prevent burning.
- Substitutions: You can use fresh or frozen strawberries for the sauce. Try a raspberry, blueberry, or cherry sauce instead. Swap white chocolate for milk or dark chocolate if preferred.
- Storage: Store the Strawberry Sauce in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. The Assembled Bowls are best served immediately to keep the waffle bowls crisp.
- Can I make the strawberry sauce ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the sauce a week in advance and store it in the fridge.
- Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones? Absolutely! Just let them thaw slightly and adjust the cooking time if needed.
- What if I don’t have waffle bowls? You can use regular bowls and serve the ice cream with the strawberry sauce and sprinkles on top.
