Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups sliced strawberries
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups heavy cream, plus additional for brushing on shortcakes
2 teaspoons decorative sanding sugar (optional)
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3- inch circular cookie cutter (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the middle. Lightly butter a baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the sliced strawberries with the sugar. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in the heavy cream just until a dough forms. Gather the dough into a ball and knead it on a lightly floured surface one to two times. (Don't over-knead the dough or your biscuits will be tough.)
  • Roll out the dough until it's 1/2-inch thick. Using the cookie cutter, cut out 8 shortcakes and transfer them to the baking sheet. (Alternately, you can trim the sides of the dough into a square and then, using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 square shortcakes.)
  • Brush the tops of the shortcakes with additional heavy cream and then sprinkle them with the sanding sugar (optional). Bake the shortcakes until golden, 15 to 20 minutes, and then transfer them to a rack to cool.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the heavy cream, sour cream, sugar and vanilla extract on high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Slice the shortcakes in half and then sandwich the strawberries and whipped cream inside them.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon for dusting
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup chilled heavy cream, plus 2 tablespoons for brushing
1 orange, zested
6 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced, or a mix of fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 sprig fresh mint, leaves picked and thinly sliced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked and minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 cups chilled heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
6 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • For the biscuits: Pulse the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in the food processor, about 5 seconds. Add the cold butter cubes. Using on/off turns, process until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • In a liquid measure, combine the heavy cream and orange zest. Add the heavy cream-orange mixture to the dry ingredients in the processor and pulse just until moist clumps form. Gather the dough into a ball (with floured hands if the dough is sticky). Gently knead 5 turns on a floured surface. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 3/4 inch-thick. Using a 3-inch diameter biscuit cutter, cut out 3 rounds.
  • Gather the dough scraps and reroll as needed to make 3 more 3-inch rounds.
  • Arrange the rounds on the prepared sheet. Brush with 2 tablespoons cream and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake the biscuits until pale golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. (Biscuits can be made 2 hours ahead.)
  • For the berries and cream: Combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, mint, thyme and orange zest in a medium bowl. Stir to blend. Let stand at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • For the whipped cream: Combine the heavy cream, vanilla extract, almond extract and sugar in a food processor or a large bowl and whisk until soft peaks form.
  • For assembly: Cut the biscuits in half horizontally. Place 1 biscuit bottom in each of 6 bowls. Top each with 1 cup berry mixture, 3 heaping tablespoons whipped cream and then cover with the top portion of the biscuit. Add another dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Go for it!

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WITH CHEESECAKE WHIPPED CREAM



Strawberry Shortcake with Cheesecake Whipped Cream image

I cheat and use prepackaged angel food cake, but I absolutely, always, use fresh fruit and make the whipped cheesecake cream myself. I use a cream cheese whipped cream so that I stays looking nice when it has to sit around on a buffet for a few hours. Since the cream cheese gives it stability you can use WAY less sugar than traditional whipped cream calls for.

Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ quarts fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 pint heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (10 inch) angel food cake, cut in cubes
½ quart fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Steps:

  • Mix 1 1/2 quarts strawberries and white sugar in a large bowl; gently mash strawberries with a potato masher. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Beat cream cheese in a bowl until light and fluffy; set aside. Beat heavy cream in another bowl until soft peaks form; add whipped cream cheese and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the cream should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Beat confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract into cream cheese mixture.
  • Layer about half the angel food cake in a large bowl or trifle. Spread a third of the cream cheese mixture over the cake and top with a layer of mashed strawberries. Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of the cream cheese mixture. Arrange the remaining 1/2 quart strawberry slices decoratively. Chill until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, sweet strawberries. The better the strawberries, the better the shortcake will be. Avoid strawberries that are bruised or moldy.
  • Make sure the biscuits are fluffy and tender. Over-mixing the dough will result in tough biscuits. Be gentle when mixing the ingredients together.
  • Don't over-whip the whipped cream. Over-whipped cream will be grainy and stiff. Whip the cream until it is soft peaks.
  • Assemble the shortcake just before serving. The biscuits will get soggy if they sit too long with the strawberries and whipped cream.
  • Garnish the shortcake with fresh thyme. Thyme adds a subtle, herbaceous flavor to the shortcake.

Conclusion:

Strawberry shortcake is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet strawberries, fluffy biscuits, and creamy whipped cream, it's the perfect way to celebrate the season. Whether you're serving it at a picnic, a party, or just for a special treat, this strawberry shortcake recipe with thyme is sure to be a hit.
