Strawberry Shortcake Divine Treat is a delectable dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is a combination of sweet and tangy flavors that will leave your taste buds craving for more. To make this heavenly dessert, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Shortcake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg

For the Filling:

- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Whipped Cream:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut into circles using a biscuit cutter. Place the circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
While the shortcakes are baking, prepare the filling by combining the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries are soft. Remove from heat and let cool.
To make the whipped cream, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the Strawberry Shortcake Divine Treat, slice the shortcakes in half and place a spoonful of the strawberry filling on the bottom half. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and place the other half of the shortcake on top. Garnish with additional strawberries and whipped cream.
This Strawberry Shortcake Divine Treat is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors that will leave you wanting more. The shortcake is light and fluffy, while the strawberry filling is bursting with flavor. The whipped cream adds a creamy and smooth texture to the dish. This dessert is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
