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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and hull the strawberries, then slice them into thin pieces.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Warm the store-bought biscuits according to the package instructions, typically around 5-10 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Carefully split the warmed biscuits in half using a serrated knife.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the strawberries, then cover with the top half of the biscuit.
Step 8
Repeat the process for all biscuits. Serve immediately and enjoy!
