Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 0.5 cups mini chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 1 unit egg, lightly beaten
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for strawberries)
- 1 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the chilled butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream and the egg. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle and use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Re-roll scraps as needed.
Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with additional heavy cream for a golden finish.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shortcakes are golden brown. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
While the shortcakes bake, prepare the strawberries by tossing them with the 1/4 cup of sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside to macerate for at least 15 minutes.
To make the whipped cream, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the shortcakes, slice each cake in half horizontally. Layer the bottom half with a generous spoonful of macerated strawberries and their juice, then top with whipped cream. Place the top half of the shortcake over the whipped cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chocolate Chip Strawberry Shortcakes!
