Strawberry Shortcake Dip

I've been trying to dream up a sweet dip lately and this lovely concoction came to me. I was inspired by the strawberry shortcake my mom and grandparents used to make for my family when I was younger. It was simply smashed strawberries and sugar over the little shortcake cups or buttered toast and it always hit the spot. It felt like a treat, like we somehow were allowed to eat dessert for breakfast! This is a party friendly version of the childhood strawberry shortcake I remember. Serve the dip with vanilla wafers and graham crackers!
