Easy methods to Make Gluten-Free Strawberry Shortcake
Step 1: Make a batch of Gluten-Free Biscuits.
Begin by making a batch of my tall and fluffy Gluten-Free Biscuits. You’re going to like these as a result of the style and texture are similar to common biscuits, they usually go from substances to oven in about 10 minutes.
Don’t Overlook
You should definitely add 1 Tablespoon of sugar to the biscuit’s dry substances. I’ve added a be aware about this within the recipe card under.


Step 2: Cool the biscuits.
Let the biscuits cool till they’re at room temperature earlier than serving. In the event you attempt to add chilly, do-it-yourself whipped cream to heat biscuits, it’ll soften.
That stated, don’t let the biscuits sit out for hours or else they’ll grow to be stale in style and texture. This dessert is greatest served when the biscuits have simply transitioned from heat to chill.


Step 3: Make the do-it-yourself whipped cream.
Like I stated, making do-it-yourself whipped cream takes underneath 5 minutes and is so well worth the little little bit of effort. My largest tip is to ensure your bowl and whisk are tremendous chilly earlier than you start.
So, place the blending bowl and whisk attachment of an electrical stand mixer – or a glass or stainless-steel bowl plus whisk attachments if utilizing a hand-held mixer – into the freezer for at the very least 10 minutes.


To the chilled bowl, add heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, then flip the velocity to low.
Regularly enhance the velocity to excessive because the combination thickens, then proceed to whip till the heavy cream has thickened and may maintain its form, although shouldn’t be lumpy, 2-3 minutes.
Refrigerate the whipped cream till you’re able to serve.


Step 4: Make the strawberry topping.
To a medium-sized mixing bowl, add trimmed then sliced contemporary strawberries and powdered sugar then stir gently to mix and refrigerate for at the very least half-hour, or as much as a number of hours forward of serving.
This offers the strawberries time to macerate, or launch their pure juices, which is able to grow to be a syrupy sauce for the ultimate dish (or a very yummy sip straight from the bowl!)


Step 5: Assemble the Strawberry Shortcakes.
Slice a gluten-free biscuit in half then place the underside on a plate. Add a spoonful of the strawberries plus a few of their juices, then dollop do-it-yourself whipped cream on prime.
Place the opposite half of the biscuit on prime, then add extra whipped cream and strawberries.


That’s all she wrote! Serve instantly and luxuriate in this unimaginable and EASY style of summer time!
