Easy Keto Strawberry Shortcake 🍓
A delicious and healthy keto-friendly strawberry shortcake recipe, perfect for a low-carb treat!
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper or Silicone Mat
- Pastry cutter (optional)
- Hand Mixer
Ingredients
- 3 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup sugar-free granulated sweetener
- 1.5 teaspoons 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) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This makes cleanup a breeze!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar-free sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add them to the dry mix. Use a pastry cutter (or even your clean hands!) to blend the butter until it resembles pea-sized crumbles. This creates that wonderfully flaky texture!
- Stir in the beaten eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until just combined. The dough will be thick and hold its shape.
- Using a 3-tablespoon scoop, drop 10 equally sized mounds of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Bake for about 18 minutes, or until the shortcakes are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool slightly.
- While the shortcakes bake, grab a large bowl and your hand mixer. Beat the heavy cream, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. If you like it softer, whip until soft peaks.
- Slice your strawberries and toss them with the sugar-free granulated sweetener in a medium bowl. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to create those delicious, juicy berries.
- Once cooled, slice each shortcake in half. Pile on the sweetened strawberries and a generous dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately and savor this healthy treat!
