This is soooooo delicious!!!! It is easy to put together and I almost like the Greek yogurt better than the typical whipped cream! It gives a depth of flavor that the fatty whipped cream doesn't give. I LOVE the topping of crystallized ginger, it gave another flavor dimension that went really really well with strawberries and the Grand Marnier juice!!! Will definitely make this shortcake again, thanks for the recipe!!!!!
