Ingredients

Biscuit Layer

Roasted Strawberries

  • 16 oz fresh strawberries quartered
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Whipped Topping

  • 8 oz dairy-free cream cheese
  • 1 cup coconut cream or hardened cream from one can of full-fat coconut milk refrigerated overnight
  • 1 cup organic powdered sugar and extra depending on sweet preference
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Lightly grease a 9x13 rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray or coconut oil. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine white rice flour, almond flour, 2 tablespoons of organic cane sugar, arrowroot starch, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup almond milk and the olive oil. Stir to combine.
  • Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until all ingredients are incorporated. Chill biscuit dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. 
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the biscuit dough is chilling, prepare your strawberries. Line a second sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the quartered strawberries in a medium to large bowl with maple syrup, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir to thoroughly combine then spread in an even layer onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Set aside until ready to bake biscuit layer.
  • Once biscuit dough has chilled, spread it into an even layer in the greased sheet pan. Using a pastry brush, wash biscuit slab with additional almond milk so that top is moistened, sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon of organic cane sugar.
  • Place the biscuit sheet pan on the middle rack in oven. Bake biscuit for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the edges and top start to turn a pale golden. Place your strawberries on the bottom rack and roast for 25 minutes.
  • Allow both the strawberries and biscuit to cool completely before assembling shortcake.
  • While biscuit and strawberries bake, place cream cheese whipped topping ingredients in a medium bowl. Use an electric mixer and mix until smooth. Taste test and add extra powdered sugar if desired. Place in the refrigerator until ready to assemble shortcake. 

Assembly

  • Spread cream cheese whipped topping over top of biscuit layer leaving a ½-1 inch border. Spread roasted strawberries over top. Slice into squares using a sharp knife. Use a spatula to serve. 

Notes

To store: Store the assembled strawberry dessert, covered, in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
