AMAZING STRAWBERRY (OR BLUEBERRY) SHORTCAKE



Amazing Strawberry (Or Blueberry) Shortcake image

Found this amazing recipe in a magazine at the dentist and scrawled it on a scrap of paper. On the way home, I stopped by the market to get necessary ingredients and made it for dinner that evening. Incredible. I am sure any combination of berries would be wonderful. I am a mascarpone cheese convert--it is a softer, more delicate flavor than cream cheese and perfect in this recipe. Hope you enjoy! (Prep time includes 1 hour fruit sits in refrigerator).

BLUEBERRY-STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



BLUEBERRY-STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE image

A slight variation from normal strawberry shortcake and very delicious! A nice change, too, from those store-bought sponge cakes. 03-21-16

Provided by Ellen Bales

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c sliced fresh strawberries
2 c fresh blueberries
1/2 c sugar
2-1/3 c bisquick biscuit mix
2/3 c milk
3 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp butter, melted
1 pkg (8 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

  • 1. Mix strawberries, blueberries and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • 2. In a large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk, 3 Tbsp. sugar and the melted butter until soft dough forms. Drop by 6 spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 3. Bake in a preheated 425º oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Split warm shortcakes horizontally; fill and top with berries and whipped topping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries. Fresh blueberries have the best flavor and texture for this recipe. If you can't find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the biscuits tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the biscuits until they're golden brown. The biscuits are done baking when they're golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Make the blueberry sauce ahead of time. The blueberry sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead of time. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Serve the shortcake with whipped cream or ice cream. Whipped cream or ice cream is the perfect topping for blueberry shortcake. It adds a creamy, delicious flavor that complements the tartness of the blueberries.

Conclusion:

Blueberry shortcake is a classic summer dessert that's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet, juicy blueberries, fluffy biscuits, and creamy whipped cream, blueberry shortcake is the perfect way to enjoy the flavors of summer.
