EASY STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE {WITH BISQUICK MIX}

The best, classic, quick and easy strawberry shortcake recipe, homemade with simple ingredients. This dessert is composed of flaky biscuits, filled with sweetened strawberries and whipped cream. Starts off with Bisquick mix.

You can use those three components (light and fluffy biscuits, sweet strawberries, fresh whipped cream) to make strawberry shortcake ice cream, trifles, cheesecake, cakes and cupcakes.

This is a “short cake” and different than your typical soft and moist cakes. It has a high ratio of butter to flour and sugar, giving it that light and flaky texture.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE?

1. Make strawberry filling- Mix strawberries with sugar and let it sit for about 20 minutes to sweat and release juices.
2. Make biscuits– While strawberries are resting, prepare biscuits. They can be made from scratch or you can use the store-bought refrigerated biscuit dough. You can also make Bisquick strawberry shortcake like I did. Mix together Bisquick mix with butter, sugar, milk until dough forms and then dropping round portions on a cooking tray for baking.
3. Make whipped cream– Whip together heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. You can also use store-bought Cool Whip.
4. Assemble– When the biscuits have cooled down completely, split them in half. Place one half on a plate and top it off with whipped cream. Add some strawberries on top. Cover with the other half of the biscuit and serve immediately.
