Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- For the Shortcake:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- For the Strawberry Filling:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons erythritol
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- For the Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
- Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vanilla extract, and egg.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Drop 1/4 cupfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the shortcakes are cooling, prepare the strawberry filling by combining sliced strawberries, erythritol, and lemon juice in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
- For the whipped cream, beat the heavy cream, erythritol, and vanilla extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
- To assemble, slice each shortcake horizontally. Layer with whipped cream and strawberry filling, then top with the other half of the shortcake. Add another layer of whipped cream and strawberries on top if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free delight!
Notes
For a dairy-free option, replace the butter with coconut oil and heavy cream with chilled coconut cream. Ensure all ingredients are well chilled for a more stable whipped cream.
