Strawberry Filling

I love strawberries. If I had to pick a favorite fruit, strawberries would be a strong contender. My kids all love strawberries too. Maybe that's why they're all so sweet! :) My little 6 year old requested Strawberry Filling in her birthday cake this year so I made this yummy filling for her. She loved it both in her cake and when she licked the pan. This Strawberry Filling is also fantastic on ice cream.

1 (16 oz) bag frozen strawberries, thawed
¼ cup sugar
3 Tbsp cornstarch

Puree strawberries in a blender. Pour sugar and cornstarch into a medium pan and whisk to combine. Add Pureed strawberries and whisk until smooth and combined. Cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
