Strawberry Shortcake
It’s time to make actual, real strawberry shortcake now. You know those cellophane bags of “shortcakes” you can pick up in the produce section, usually right next to the plastic sacks of “strawberry” glaze? Well, I have some bad news. I destroyed all of those in several small arson jobs. And I infested the factories than make them with toucans.
I know, I know, I should have talked to you first before I stole all those toucans from the Froot Loops factory and released them into the ventilation system of the fake strawberry product factory, but really I was doing you a favor.
Traditional, homemade shortcakes are infinitely better tasting than those stale old sponge cake bowls; and my strawberry sauce has TWO special ingredients that will make you go Whoomp. There it is.
PLUS, in the video I show you how to make them shaped like little cutie-pie bunnies! Strawbunny Shortcakes! Get it?! FOR EASTER!!!
I crack me up.
Of course, you can use CoolWhip or ReddiWhip if you must, but in a dish this simple, I would choose the simplicity of real whipped cream. Plus, you have all that cream left over from making the biscuits! You might also like this fruit tart recipe if you liked the strawberry shortcake.

Great recipe! I love strawberry shortcake. We used to get it for dessert every time we went to Durgin Park in Boston, Mass., for the corned beef and cabbage. Your shortcake looks like cream scones — add raisins and have it for afternoon tea!
I agree that homemade whipped cream is way better than from a container. Sweetening it with simple syrup avoids the possible grittiness of sugar granules. I’ve used maple syrup to sweeten whipped cream for pumpkin pie and pecan pie.

Shortcake is a favorite of mine. With any berries, too, not just strawberries. You’re right the shortcakes are pretty much scones. I thought about maybe just making “strawberry shortcake scones” but then I’d have had to use dried berries or something. Although, could also have strawberry jam on the cream scones and still call it that!
Thanks for the simple syrup tip! I’d never thought of that before.

Hello Hilah,
I know sometimes you have made “copycat recipes.” i.e Chick-fil-A. I’m interested if you have ever tried Chicago’s Garretts popcorn. I understand people stand in long lines to eat it. That it is “that good.” I myself have never tried it and I understand to order even a small tin, online it’s very expensive. I believe the nearest shop on the west is located in Las Vegas NV.. so hopefully I can some day acquire. The popcorn i am talking about is caramel mixed with cheese. You seem to do a good job of researching recipes.Thanks!!!
