• Scoop hot fudge into each individual cup.
• Next add 1-2 slices of strawberries onto each cup's hot fudge.
• Then top them all off with a scoop of ice cream.
• Stack them on top of each other (make sure that their stacked pretty good or else it may topple over - This parts a lil messy but trust me, it's definitely worth it!).
