Recipe Description

Wonderful summertime dessert! Fresh strawberries, with just a hint of the orange Grand Marnier, were made for this shortcake and are amazing topped with the fresh vanilla bean whipped cream.

I have substituted Splenda and it hasn't affected the flavor but prefer the real sugar in the strawberries.

 

Recipe Directions

For Shortcakes:

Preheat oven to 350'.

Wisk dry ingredients together. Stir in buttermilk & heavy cream.

Scoop 5 even portions onto cookie sheet. Bake for 35 minutes, turning once.

 

For strawberries:

Clean and chop strawberries. Mix in sugar and grand Marnier. Place in fridge for several hours.

 

For whipped cream:

In mixing bowl place heavy cream and vanilla pods from seeds. Start mixer on medium. Move to high and slowly add sugar until whipped to stiff peaks.

 

To assemble:

Cut shortcake in half horizontally. 

Smear some whipping cream on bottom half.

Add about 3/4 C strawberry mix.

Place top half on strawberries and top with whipping cream.
