Strawberry Crunch Ice Cream Cake
Freeze-dried strawberries are strawberries that have been treated with low pressure and low temperature in order to remove all the water from the fruit. What’s left behind is a super crunchy, shelf-stable treat with a concentrated strawberry flavor. Freeze-dried strawberries sound kind of space-agey, but are easy to find these days at your local grocery store in the baking or snack aisle.
