With quarantine as a new reality, many of us have developed a sweet tooth, and are craving something easy and delicious to make. This easy strawberry shortcake only takes a few simple ingredients that you might already have; it only takes a short amount of time to complete! This is a recipe was used in one of our courses. It’s a very simple, sweet, and rewarding recipe for anyone who tries it—yum!
Ingredients:
- Strawberries
- Sugar
- Heavy whipping cream OR premade whipped cream
- Vanilla
- Frozen or canned biscuits
How to make it:
Step 1: A few hours before you plan to serve your strawberry shortcakes, take your washed strawberries, cut off the leaves, and cut the strawberries in half. Then, add them to a bowl with your sugar, cover with plastic wrap, and routinely stir them. Once your strawberries have sat out for a few hours, they should be much softer and sweeter.
Step 2: Take your heavy whipping cream, and add it to a chilled bowl. If you have a stand mixer, be sure to chill the beater with the bowl. Either by hand using a whisk or with a stand mixer, beat your heavy whipping cream, with a splash of vanilla for flavor, until you have peaks.
Step 3: Bake your biscuits according to the package’s instructions.
Step 4: Take your baked biscuit and spit in half, add your sweetened strawberries on top of each half biscuit, then add a dollop of whip cream on top.
