Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Topping
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Biscuit Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (natural)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (natural)
- 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or other)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup plant-based cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries: Slice fresh strawberries and toss them with granulated sugar (natural) and natural gelling agent. Set aside to macerate and release their natural juices.
- Mix the biscuit dough: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural), and sugar. Cut in cold plant-based butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract (natural) until just combined.
- Assemble on the sheet pan: Spread the biscuit dough evenly onto a greased sheet pan, forming a thin layer. Scatter the macerated strawberries with juices evenly over the top, allowing some juices to soak into the biscuit base.
- Bake it just right: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until the biscuits are golden and cooked through, and the strawberry topping bubbles beautifully, approximately 25-30 minutes.
- Whip the plant-based cream: While the shortcake cools slightly, whip the plant-based cream with a little vanilla extract (natural) until soft peaks form, ready to dollop on top.
- Serve and enjoy: Cut the sheet pan shortcake into squares and top each piece generously with whipped cream for a stunning finish.
Notes
- Use the freshest ripe strawberries to maximize flavor and natural sweetness.
- Mix biscuit dough gently to maintain a tender crumb.
- Watch the bake time to avoid overbaking, ensuring moist biscuits with tender edges.
- Keep plant-based butter cold until use for flakier biscuits.
- Allow the shortcake to cool slightly before adding plant-based cream to avoid melting.
