These Strawberry Raspberry Shortcakes with Honey Coconut Cream are a super simple and delicious dessert that the entire family will love.

the inspiration:

one of my mother’s favorite desserts growing up was angel food cake with strawberries and unsweetened or very lightly-sweetened whipped cream. I’m yet to find a gf angel food cake that can hold its structure, so I decided to go the strawberry shortcake route with a simple shortcut. we’ve recently become hooked on these amazing grain-free frozen biscuits made with cleaner ingredients and they provide the perfect shortcut. after making a simple whipped “cream” with coconut milk and macerating your berries, your dessert will come together effortlessly.

Assembly is a breeze!

strawberry raspberry shortcake ingredients:

  • fresh berries: I love the combination of traditional strawberries paired with tart and delicate raspberries for this recipe.
  • coconut cream: you can use canned coconut cream or the white portion of canned full fat coconut milk. the secret is to refrigerate your can overnight before you whip it. 
  • vanilla and honey: delicately flavor the coconut whipped cream.
  • high-quality salt: I always always always add salt to sweets. it brings out the flavors and makes components taste so much better. 
  • Meyer lemon: my favorite citrus fruit- a cross between a lemon and a tangerine leaves a lovely pop of citrus in the macerated berries. you can also substitute a plain lemon if you can’t find. 
  • frozen, refrigerated canned or fresh biscuits: I use this brand of biscuits and they are fabulous. you can find them at whole foods.

Macerating berries is a simple way to amplify their amplify flavor and elevate your dish.

how to serve:

this dish is very simple to serve once you have the three components prepared. after you have whipped and chilled your cream, macerated your berries and baked your biscuits, it’s time to assemble or have your guests assemble their own. I simply added two smaller biscuits to each plate and topped each with a large dollop of whipped cream and finished with macerated berries, spilling off the sides. make sure each plate also gets some of the amazing “syrup” from the macerated berries. this dessert would be amazing served with my fresh vanilla hemp milk alongside. enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • 4 frozen biscuits I used grain-free Cappellos Almond Flour Biscuits
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup strawberries sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon meyer lemon zest sub normal lemon if not available

Instructions
 

  • Begin by making the Honey Coconut Whipped Cream. In a medium bowl, add your cold canned coconut cream, vanilla, honey and salt. With a hand mixer, whip on low, then increase speed to high, until light, thick and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Let chill in refrigerator while preparing the berries and biscuits.
