Preparation Steps
In a bowl, combine the melted butter and crushed shortbread cookies until they are well mixed and crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of a lined baking dish to form a crust.
In another bowl, gently fold together the softened vanilla ice cream, chopped strawberries, and whipped cream until everything is evenly blended.
Spread the strawberry ice cream mixture over the crust in the baking dish, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. When ready to serve, cut into bars and enjoy!
