Keto Strawberry Shortcake

Ingredients

Strawberries & Whipped Cream Topping:

  • 6 cups chopped strawberries (chop them large or small based on your preference)
  • ¼ cup erythritol (or keto sugar substitute of choice)
  • Homemade whipped cream or dairy-free whipped cream

Biscuits:

  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup erythritol 
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter or coconut oil, cold and cut into cubes 
  • ½ cup cold milk or coconut milk or almond milk 
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk or coconut milk or almond milk for glazing
  • Erythritol for sprinkling on top

Instructions

Strawberries:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the strawberries and erythritol and store them in the refrigerator until needed. Can be made 1 day ahead.

Biscuits:

  1. Preheat oven to 450° F. Line a square or round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the coconut flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
  3. Add the butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork and mix together until it resembles crumbs. You can use a food processor instead and pulse until crumbs form.
  4. Add milk and eggs, mix the dough until it forms a dough that stays together. Don’t overmix. 
  5. Gently spoon the dough into the cake pan. Try to make the dough even without pressing it down.
  6. Gently brush milk over the top and sprinkle sugar all over the top.
  7. Bake for 12-18 minutes or until the large biscuit is golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before assembling. 
  8. To assemble, cut the biscuit cake into 9 pieces. You can assemble the shortcakes warm or cold. If you are using whipped cream made from coconut cream then I suggest waiting until the shortcakes are 100% cooled because the dairy-free whipped cream will melt.
  9. Cut the individual biscuit in half and layer with strawberries and whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Note: If the cake batter looks too watery to you, add ½ tablespoon of coconut flour at a time until the batter can form a dough.
