WHEN I married in 1946, my sister-in-law was a big help in sharing her recipes and cooking expertise and I aspired to be as good a cook as she was. Many of her recipes are still our favorites. Although I've tried a few other recipes for strawberry shortcake over the years, I always come back to this one. --Janice Mitchell, Aurora, Colorado

EASY BISQUICK STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



Easy Bisquick Strawberry Shortcake image

Last year my kids (ages 8, 6 and 3 at the time) decided they wanted to make a recipe "on their own," so we tried the Strawberry Shortcake recipe on the back of the Bisquick box - worked like a charm! I gave each of them regular table knives (not too sharp) so they could slice the berries, and they measured and mixed the simple ingredients for the shortcake themselves. They felt like total rock stars after we assembled their beautiful (and delicious!) desserts!

QUICK AND EASY STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



Quick and Easy Strawberry Shortcake image

This is so simple to throw together for a quick summer dessert. Tastes like a combination of strawberry shortcake and cheesecake, while being very light tasting at the same time. I have also made this with fat free cream cheese and "lite" cool whip with great results.

Provided by Michele in NJ

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 30m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package Pillsbury sugar cookie dough (tube)
8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces Cool Whip
1 cup powdered sugar
2 packages strawberry glaze
2 lbs fresh strawberries, sliced

Steps:

  • Slice sugar cookie dough.
  • Place them on a cookie sheet, edge to edge.
  • Bake as directed on the package.
  • This will bake together to form a solid cookie crust.
  • Mix cream cheese, cool whip and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Spread over the cooled cookie crust.
  • Mix glaze and berries together and spread over cream cheese layer.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy strawberries. This will ensure that your shortcake is bursting with flavor.
  • Use a biscuit mix that contains baking powder and baking soda. This will help your shortcakes rise and become fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your shortcakes tough.
  • Bake the shortcakes until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the shortcakes cool completely before assembling the strawberry shortcake. This will help prevent the shortcakes from becoming soggy.
  • Use freshly whipped cream for the best results. You can also use a store-bought whipped cream, but be sure to whip it until it is stiff peaks.
  • Assemble the strawberry shortcake just before serving. This will help prevent the shortcakes from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Strawberry shortcake is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious strawberry shortcake that will be the star of your next party or gathering.
