Ingredients
- 1 can coconut milk placed in fridge overnight
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegan butter cold and cubed
- ¾ cup coconut milk
- 2 cups strawberries sliced
Instructions
- Scoop out the coconut cream from the top of the chilled coconut milk can, place into bowl of stand mixer with powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Then whip on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes, place into fridge to chill.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Then cut in the vegan butter until only pea sized pieces remain.
- Add in the coconut milk and stir until flour is just moistened
- Cover and refrigerate at least one hour
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough until it is about ½” thick, then use a 3” round cookie cutter to cut circles in the dough (you want to get 6 shortcakes)
- Preheat the oven to 350 F, line a baking sheet with parchment, then bake the shortcakes in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden and slightly puffed
- Allow the shortcakes to cool completely, then slice in half and top with whipped coconut cream and strawberries
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Only assemble as many shortcakes as you are planning on eating, the leftovers will do better stored separately until serving time
- The coconut cream should be watched while whipping, it may split and then get runny if over whipped.
- For an added touch of sweetness, you can sprinkle a small amount of sugar overtop and let them sit in the fridge
