4 cups frozen strawberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
2 liters strawberry shortcake ice cream
3 cups crushed vanilla cookies
1/2 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons corn starch

Instructions

Prepare the strawberry sauce: In a saucepan, combine frozen strawberries, sugar, and water over medium heat until simmering. Mix cornstarch with cold water in a bowl and add to the saucepan. Cook until thickened (5-10 minutes), then cool.

Layer the ice cream: Allow ice cream to soften slightly, then spread half over the crust. Drizzle with half of the cooled strawberry sauce. Repeat with another layer of ice cream and remaining sauce.
Freeze: Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
Serve: Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing into pieces.
