Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 3 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 2 tablespoons Stevia (or preferred natural sweetener)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract for whipped cream
• 1 tablespoon Stevia for whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the dough comes together.

Step 6

Scoop the dough into 6 equal portions onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Gently flatten the tops slightly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack.

Step 8

While the biscuits cool, mix the sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of stevia in a medium bowl. Set aside to let the strawberries macerate and develop a syrup.

Step 9

To prepare the whipped cream, beat the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of stevia in a medium bowl until soft peaks form.

Step 10

To assemble the shortcakes, slice each biscuit in half horizontally. Layer the bottom half with macerated strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Place the top half of the biscuit on top, and optionally add more strawberries and cream.

Step 11

Serve the sugar-free strawberry shortcakes immediately for the best flavor.
