For the Topping:

Instructions
-
Prepare the Strawberries:
In a bowl, combine chopped strawberries, white sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Mash with a fork until the mixture is juicy and syrupy. Let it sit covered in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. -
Assemble the Shortcakes:
Once the strawberry mixture has chilled, place each shortcake cup on a dessert plate. Spoon the strawberry mixture over the top, making sure to get a generous amount of fruit and syrup. -
Top with Whipped Cream:
Finish by topping each shortcake with a dollop of freshly whipped cream. Serve immediately.
Notes
Sugar Options: Brown sugar or coconut sugar can be used instead of white sugar for a deeper flavor.
Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the strawberry mixture and whipped cream ahead of time, but assemble the shortcakes just before serving to keep the shortcakes from becoming soggy.
Whipped Cream Flavor: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the whipped cream for extra flavor.
