Desserts Keto

Craving strawberry shortcake but keeping it low-carb? This clever version scratches the itch beautifully. Juicy macerated berries spoon over tender almond-flour biscuits, all crowned with a cloud of whipped cream, and not a grain of refined sugar in sight. Letting the strawberries rest overnight makes them irresistibly syrupy, so every bite tastes like summer. A guilt-free way to enjoy a beloved dessert without breaking your routine.

Ingredients

2-3 Cup Fresh Strawberries - Diced
1/4 Cup Monk Fruit Sweetener
3 Cups Almond Flour
1 1/4 Tsp Baking Powder
2 Tsp Monk Fruit Sweetener
1 Pinch Salt
2 Large Egg
1 Tbsp Vanilla
1/4 Cup Heavy Cream - Whipped

Directions

Dice the strawberries and place them in a bowl.
Stir in the monk fruit sweetener.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least a few hours) to allow the berries to become juicy.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, monk fruit sweetener, and salt.
Add the cold cubed butter.
Using your hands or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla and heavy whipping cream.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
Scoop the dough into 8–10 mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 18 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
Let cool slightly.
Slice each shortcake in half.
Spoon the chilled strawberries over the bottom half.
Add a dollop of whipped cream (optional but highly recommended).
Place the top half of the shortcake on and serve.
