Low Sugar DF Strawberry Shortcake

450 degrees, 10-12 minutes
Serves: 6

Ingredients
  • 4 Cups Strawberries, sliced
  • ⅓ Cup Coconut Oil

  • 2 or 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 3 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ Cup Coconut Milk

Instructions
  1. Mix strawberries and ½ cup sugar. Let stand about 1 hour so strawberries will become juicy.
  2. Heat oven to 450.
  3. Cut shortening into flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder and salt, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs.
  4. Stir in DF milk until just blended.
  5. Place dough on lightly floured surface.
  6. Gently smooth into a ball.
  7. Place about 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  8. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Split shortcakes in half while hot.
  10. Fill with strawberries; replace tops.
  11. Top with strawberries and dairy-free whipped cream.
