Prepare the Spice Mixture:
In a 1-quart saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of water, 2 cinnamon sticks, 3 cloves, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. 🌿🍋 -
Cook the Mixture:
Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, continue to cook for one minute, ensuring the mixture thickens slightly. 🍲⏲️ -
Remove Spices:
Carefully remove the cinnamon sticks and cloves from the saucepan. This will leave you with a smooth, spiced syrup. 🥄✨ -
Combine with Strawberries:
Place the 3 cups of fresh, hulled, and halved strawberries in a medium-sized bowl. Pour the hot spiced syrup over the strawberries, making sure all the berries are well coated. 🍓💫 -
Chill:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. ❄️🍓 -
Prepare Dessert Dishes:
Line the bottom and sides of 4 dessert dishes with Cool Whip. This will create a lovely, creamy bed for your spiced strawberries. 🍨🍦 -
Serve:
Once the strawberries have chilled, fill the center of each Cool Whip-lined dish with the spiced strawberries and their syrup. 🍓🥄 -

Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful blend of spiced fruit and creamy goodness. Perfect for any spring or summer occasion! 🌸🌞
