This is one of my favorite go to toppings because it's so incredibly simple and comes together in just thirty minutes. Fresh strawberries are packed with vitamin C, which is wonderful for boosting your immune system, and this recipe lets that bright, natural flavor really shine through. You probably have everything in your kitchen already, and at under a dollar to make, it's a budget friendly way to dress up ice cream, pancakes, or cake. The vanilla is totally optional, but it adds a subtle richness that makes it taste like something fancy. Trust me, once you try this, you'll be making it constantly.
