How to Make Keto Strawberry Shortcake
NuTrail Butter Biscuit mix makes this crowd-pleasing dessert as easy as, well, cake!
All you need to whip up dense, moist biscuits with our mix is unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract and a bit of keto-friendly sweetener.
Tip: Make sure your butter is nice and cold before you add it to the biscuits dough. This helps create flaky layers.
Make-Ahead Strawberry Shortcake
If you’re entertaining, this is a great recipe that will delight a hungry crowd and can be made ahead of time.
In fact, it’s best to serve your shortbread at room temperature so that it doesn’t melt the whipped cream or degrade the plump and juicy strawberries.
Store keto biscuits in an airtight container on the counter for up to four days.
Unlike regular shortbread, the natural fat in our biscuit mix helps keep your baked goods from going stale.
You can make the whipped cream several hours ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
If the cream looks deflated at all when you’re ready to serve dessert, simply whip it again for a few minutes to refresh it.
The strawberry sauce is best within an hour of preparing it.
But you can always slice the berries ahead of time, keep them in the fridge, then add the sweetener about an hour before dessert.
That way, you’ll have a juicy and sweet sauce without losing the fresh strawberry texture.
