Easy Strawberry Shortcake
This strawberry shortcake is so easy to make, even your oven can’t mess it up! Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons of sugar (for strawberries)
- 1 batch of shortcake biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing the strawberries. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Let them sit for about 30 minutes. This allows their natural juices to mingle and create a syrupy delight that would make anyone swoon!
- While the strawberries are breaking down, it’s time to whip the cream! In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Grab your mixer and whip away until soft peaks form. We’re talking clouds of cream here, folks. The more, the merrier!
- Now, if you’ve got homemade shortcake biscuits, best to give them some love by baking them as per your recipe. If you’re using store-bought, well, follow the package directions because life’s too short to argue with instructions.
- Once your biscuits are ready and cooled (patience, my friend), it’s time to assemble! Cut those biscuits in half horizontally. Spoon a generous amount of the luscious strawberries along with their syrup right onto the bottom half. Then, add a dollop (or two) of your whipped cream cloud on top. Place the top half of the biscuit back on, and pop another spoonful of strawberries and cream on top for good measure. Boom! You’ve just created a masterpiece!
- Serve these beauties immediately, and prepare for a chorus of “oohs” and “aahs” from your family and friends. Just be ready to share the recipe because they’re going to ask!
And there you have it! Your kitchen is now a mecca of mouthwatering flavors. Enjoy every fluffy, berry-filled bite!
