I started making this recipe hoping they would turn out tasting like Strawberry Shortcake, but the vanilla is so strong that all I can think of is strawberries and cream... and they are so good! I used a heavy cream in the first layer but I think melted vanilla ice cream would be so much better, and tastier (if you do use the ice cream, omit the Vanilla extract to avoid the vanilla overpowering the strawberry flavour).
