This Simple Strawberry Sauce recipe is made with only two ingredients; strawberries and sugar! A perfect topping for cheesecake, angel food cake, ice cream, or waffles.
Sometimes the simplest things in life are the best. Like 2-ingredient raspberry sauce atop chocolate cake with ganache or homemade strawberry sauce on fresh waffles with plenty of whipped cream. This strawberry sauce is both simple in the ingredients and equipment needed and very easy to make! Like my 15-Minute Caramel Sauce, this strawberry sauce is also a great topping for my Mini New York Cheesecakes.
If you have plenty of fresh summer strawberries to use up, this recipe would be a great one to try! Be sure to also check out my recipes made with strawberries including fluffy Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins with Streusel Topping or creamy Strawberry Cheesecakes in a Jar.
