Chocolate Lover’s Strawberry Shortcakes

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min. YIELD: 8 shortcakes.
As a mom of four, I appreciate shortcut recipes. This one uses refrigerated biscuits, giving me time for special touches, like adding homemade whipped cream and hot fudge. —Melissa Haines, Valparaiso, Indiana

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking cocoa
  • 1 tube (16.3 ounces) large refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries or frozen sliced strawberries, thawed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
  • 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • Hot fudge ice cream topping, warmed

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a shallow bowl, mix confectioners' sugar and cocoa until blended. Dip biscuits in cocoa mixture to coat; shake off excess.
  • 2. Place 2 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  • 3. In a small bowl, toss strawberries with sugar. In another bowl, beat cream and cocoa until cream begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until soft peaks form.
  • 4. To serve, split shortcakes in half. Fill with strawberries and half of the whipped cream. Serve with fudge topping and remaining whipped cream.
