6gNET CARBSStrawberry Shortcake with Almond Flour Biscuits
Tender almond flour biscuits split and piled with juicy strawberries and fresh whipped cream.
Ingredients
Strawberries
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 tbsp granulated monk fruit sweetener
Biscuits
- 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp granulated monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Whipped cream
- 3/4 cup cold heavy cream
- 1 tbsp powdered monk fruit sweetener
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- Toss the strawberries with 1 tbsp monk fruit and set aside at room temperature so they release their juice while you bake.
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, 2 tbsp monk fruit, baking powder and salt. Cut in the cold butter with a fork or pastry cutter until it looks like coarse crumbs with some pea-size bits.
- Whisk the egg and 1/4 cup cream together, then stir into the flour mixture just until a sticky dough forms.
- Scoop 8 equal mounds onto the sheet, about 2 inches apart, and pat each into a round about 3/4 inch thick.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the bottoms are firm. Cool at least 15 minutes.
- Whip the 3/4 cup cold cream, powdered monk fruit and vanilla to soft peaks.
- Split each biscuit, spoon about 1/4 cup strawberries and their juice over the bottom, add a dollop of whipped cream and set the top on. Serve right away.

Know your label
CDC says to eat whole fruits instead of drinking juice, because juice delivers a lot of sugar at once and leaves the fiber behind.
FDA counts sugar alcohols inside Total Carbohydrate, and makers may also list their grams on a separate line.
