Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Fresh strawberries
- 3 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 6 pieces Store-bought biscuits
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse and hull the strawberries, then slice them into thin pieces.
Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle them with granulated sugar. Stir gently to combine, then let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes to release the juices.
While the strawberries are macerating, prepare the whipped cream. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Warm the store-bought biscuits according to the package instructions, typically around 5-10 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C).
Carefully split the warmed biscuits in half using a serrated knife.
To assemble the shortcakes, place the bottom half of a biscuit on a serving plate. Spoon a generous amount of the macerated strawberries and their juices over the biscuit.
Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the strawberries, then cover with the top half of the biscuit.
Repeat the process for all biscuits. Serve immediately and enjoy!
