    Ingredients:

    This recipe make a small batch of biscuits, but since you're only using one biscuit per strawberry shortcake, this makes about 6 servings.

    For the strawberries:

    • 1 lb ripe strawberries, sliced
    • 1 tablespoon agave nectar or organic sugar

    For the vegan shortcake biscuits:

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 3 tablespoons organic sugar (optional)
    • 1 cup coconut cream, chilled (chill 2 cans of full-fat coconut milk in the fridge and skim off the top thick cream, or buy coconut cream such as this or this) 
    • ½ cup non-dairy milk

    For the coconut whipped cream:

    • 14 oz canned coconut cream (or cream from 2 cans of full-fat coconut milk)
    • 2-3 tablespoons agave nectar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    You'll also need:

    • A large baking sheet
    • Parchment paper (for easy cleanup and nonstick baking!)
    • Large bowl

    How to make Vegan Strawberry Shortcakes:

    Step #1: Prep the strawberries:  Slice 1 lb. of strawberries, drizzle with a tablespoon of agave nectar or organic sugar, stir, and set aside. The strawberries will release their juices and get super flavorful!

    Step #2: Make the biscuits!  Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Sift together all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (optional) in a medium sized mixing bowl (Photo 1).  Next, take 1 cup chilled coconut cream (see note below) and 'cut' it into your flour using a fork. Your flour mixture will now look a bit clumpy like this.  That's perfect!

    Now add your non-dairy milk (I love vanilla almond milk for this!) and mix gently, until all dry spots are incorporated. The shortcake biscuit dough will be quite sticky!

    Flour your counter or clean surface, or spray it with PAM before turning the shortcake dough out onto it.  Gently press dough ball to about 1 ½ inches thick and cut out biscuit shapes (you can use a cup if you don't have a round biscuit cutter!). Alternatively, drop large spoonfuls (about ¼ cup) portions onto a pan-sprayed or parchment covered baking tray!  Leave room for spreading as these soft shortcakes will spread out a bit.

    Bake your biscuits in the oven at 425 degrees for approximately 12 minutes or until just beginning to brown on the bottom.

    Allow to cool while you prepare the coconut whipped cream.

    Step #3: Make the Coconut Whip topping!

    Open one can of chilled coconut cream (or take the cream off the tops of 2 chilled cans of full-fat coconut milk) and spoon into medium sized mixing bowl (see more info below). Add agave nectar and vanilla.

    Other ways to serve these strawberry shortcakes:

    → Crumble the biscuit into a bowl and pile strawberries and cream on top!

    → Make a trifle by layering crumbled biscuits, strawberries, and cream in clear glasses.

    No matter how you make it, this tastes wonderful!!!

    What is vegan coconut cream?

    When you refrigerate full-fat canned coconut milk, the creamiest part rises to the top and you can carefully scoop that out, leaving the coconut water part behind (save it for your smoothie later!). That's the cream! If you use organic coconut milk without any preservatives or thickeners, this is the purest coconut cream you can get without guar gum or other thickeners.

    You can also buy canned "coconut cream" which is definitely easier when you need lots of it, such as for this recipe! Trader Joe's, Thai Kitchen, and several other brands supply this - it's ALL cream so no need to worry about separation!

    Notes

    To serve: These lovely shortcakes are perfect straight out of the oven or hours (even days) later!  Either slice them and place luscious layers of vegan coconut whipped cream and strawberries between, or crumble these sweet shortcakes into a bowl and load strawberries and vegan whipped cream on top!
    Coconut cream: When you refrigerate full-fat canned coconut milk, the creamiest part rises to the top and you can carefully scoop that out, leaving the watery part behind (save it for your smoothie later!).  That’s the cream!  You can also buy canned coconut cream: Trader Joe’s, Thai Kitchen, and several other brands make this.
