This season, McAlister’s Deli is putting its own twist on a classic summertime dessert with the debut of its new Strawberry Shortcake at participating locations.
McAlister’s new Strawberry Shortcake is a seasonal dessert that's bursting with fresh summer flavors. The dish starts with sweet sponge cake layered with real strawberry preserves and fresh whipped cream. The mutli-layered cake is then garnished with a few fresh strawberries and a rich strawberry puree, for that extra burst of berry flavor.
While COVID-19 may have put a temporary stop to dining out in many places, it seems that takeout-friendly brands such as McAlister’s Deli have found ways to continue operating and rolling out fresh dishes like the new Strawberry Shortcake.
