1 package
Stellar Eats Biscuit + Scone Mix
30 g
Egg Whites
(1 large egg white)
3 Tbsp
Coconut Oil
2 Tbsp
Water
7 Tbsp
Coconut Sugar
2 lbs
Strawberries
trimmed and halved
2
Canned Coconut Milk
chilled overnight
2 Tbsp
Maple Syrup
1/2 tsp
Vanilla Extract
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Whisk the egg, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, oil and water together. Stir in 3 tablespoons of coconut sugar and 1/2 the lemon zest.
3
Add the package of Stellar Eats Biscuit + Scone Mix, and mix until combined and uniform. Do not over mix.
4
Oil your hands slightly and gently shape pieces of dough into 8 equal rounds. So not flatten too much as dough will not spread or rise while baking.
5
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until slightly golden. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
6
While the shortcakes bake, prepare your strawberries and whipped cream. Place the cut strawberries in a medium bowl along with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, the remaining lemon zest and 4 tbsp of coconut sugar. Toss to combine, and set aside at room temperature until ready to serve.
7
Spoon the thick cream from the chilled cans of coconut milk in the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl if using an electric hand mixer. Beat on medium until smooth and creamy.
8
Add in the maple syrup and vanilla extract and continue beating on medium until the ingredients are fully combined and creamy. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
9
To serve, carefully slice each shortcake in half. Top the bottom half with some whipped cream, then the macerated strawberries and a drizzle of the juices from the bowl of strawberries. Place the top half on the shortcakes on top to close.

Notes: You can replace the lemon with any other citrus. Substitute the strawberries with any other berry or stone fruit like peaches or cherries. Use regular whipping cream if you'd prefer.
