Instructions
Strawberries
- Toss sliced strawberries and sugar in a bowl. Allow the berries to sit for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours before serving.
Whipped plant cream
- Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, whisk all ingredients on high until the plant-based whipping cream thickens and stiff peaks form.
Shortcakes
- Preheat oven to 475F.
- Mix the plant-based whipping cream and lemon juice in a small bowl, and set aside for several minutes or until it begins to curdle.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Stir in the Becel® Unsalted Plant Butter and plant-based whipping cream + lemon juice mixture.
- Knead the dough a few times and then shape it into a circle about 1'' tall. Cut the circle into 8 wedges. Transfer wedges onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush tops of biscuits generously with plant-based whipping cream and sprinkle turbinado sugar on top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through baking. The biscuits should be nicely golden brown. Cool before assembling.
- Split each biscuit in two. Spoon strawberries over half of the biscuits. Then add a dollop of plant-based whipping cream on top. Layer the other biscuit halves on top followed by more strawberries and plant-based whipping cream.
