Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowls
- Pastry Cutter
- Electric Mixer
Ingredients
For the Shortcakes
- 3 Cups almond flour
- 0.5 Cup sugar-free granulated sweetener
- 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 6 Tablespoons cold butter cut into cubes
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 0.25 Cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Sweetened Whipped Cream
- 1 Cup heavy cream
- 2 Tablespoons powdered sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Sweetened Strawberries
- 20 Medium strawberries sliced
- 2 Tablespoons sugar-free granulated sweetener
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes to your dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter (or even a fork, two knives, or your clean hands!) to blend the butter into the flour until it resembles small, pea-sized crumbles.
- Next, stir in the beaten eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until everything is just combined. The dough will be nice and thick, holding its shape well.
- Using a 3-tablespoon kitchen scoop (or an ice cream scoop), divide the dough into 10 equal biscuits and place them evenly spaced on your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a biscuit comes out clean. Let them cool slightly before assembling.
- In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream with the powdered sweetener and vanilla extract until beautiful, stiff peaks form.
- Slice your fresh strawberries and place them in a medium bowl. Add the granulated sweetener.
- Stir everything together gently and let the strawberries sit for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps them release their delicious juices!
- Carefully slice each cooled shortcake biscuit in half.
- Fill each shortcake with a generous spoonful of the sweet macerated strawberries and top with a fluffy dollop of the freshly whipped cream. Serve and enjoy your healthy, homemade treat!
