Now that you’re drooling over that, let’s go through what you need to make these heavenly shortcakes:
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
- Extra sugar for topping
Alright, we got the goods! Now let’s dive into the instructions so you can get your bake on:
Instructions
- Preheat that oven to 425°F (220°C). Get your baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the heavy whipping cream gradually and stir until the mixture is just combined. Do not overmix – we want it tender, not tough!
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and gently knead it just a couple of times. Pat into a circle about 1 inch thick.
- Cut out your shortcakes with a biscuit cutter and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little extra sugar on top.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. While they cool, let’s prep our strawberries!
- In a bowl, add your sliced strawberries and drizzle some sugar on top. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes. This is gonna help them release that juicy goodness!
- Once your shortcakes are cooled, slice them in half. Spoon some of the sweetened strawberries on the bottom half, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and cap it off with the top half.
- Serve these beauties with a dollop of whipped cream, if you’re feeling extra. You won’t regret it!
And there you have it! Delicious Chocolate Strawberry Shortcakes that are sure to impress. Enjoy every bite, and don’t forget to share with your loved ones – or keep them all to yourself! 🙌🏾🍓🍫
