DEEEEEEEEE- licious Strawberry Shortcake, who doesn't love this amazing summer treat.
This is made with no sugar added because I am more of a savoury girl than a sweet one, and I prefer natural tasting flavours. These would be 100% Vegan if you swap out the yoghurt I used for a vegan alternative. I like yoghurt over whip, because I like lower fat, and the tangy flavour combination.
What you will need:
- Plain Yoghurt - I used 0% fat Presidents Choice Greek Style
- Biscuits - I used vegan ones my mom made with spelt flour (note:**these biscuits are vegan gluten free, egg free, milk and butter free** recipe as per Bob's Red Mill GF Biscuit mix, made with Earth Balance Vegan shortening and almond milk, see website for details http://www.bobsredmill.com/gf-biscuit-mix.html)
- strawberry jam- I used Presidents Choice No Sugar added
- Garnish with Chocolate shavings (note:***scrape heavy straight blade knife over smooth side of the chocolate bar, toss on top, no finger touching- it breaks and melts your shavings***)
 |
| I use dark chocolate, I always have some variety in the fridge, waiting. |
use warm biscuits out of the oven or warm up in a toaster oven or microwave so it will slightly heat up your ingredients.
In a bowl or on a plate stack:
half biscuit
strawberry jam
yoghurt or white topping of choice
other biscuit half
top with strawberry jam and chocolate shavings
 |
| You can barley see what is under the yoghurt! |
ENJOY!!
Helpful Note: To make restaurant style chocolate shaving scrape a heavy flat blade knife over the bar of chocolate, on the flat side, and then sprinkle over top by tipping chocolate bar or foil. If you handle the shaving with your finger they will break or melt, they are only little babies after all.
Biscuits are made as per Bob's Red Mill GF Biscuit mix directions, my mom used Earth Balance Vegan Shortening, and almond milk, super easy and quick. see website for details http://www.bobsredmill.com/gf-biscuit-mix.html
