Description
Another strawberry recipe! This is two in a row because…SUMMER! As I post this it is almost the 4th of July. What a perfect dessert for your keto and non-keto guests, alike. It’s easy and really delicious! Next time I might even blend up some strawberries in the food processor and fold them into the whipped cream. YUM!
For “keto friendly” sweeteners, my favorite is monk fruit, but you can absolutely use whatever you prefer. Always just adjust the amount as necessary because they differ from one to another in terms of how sweet they are.
Ingredients
For the biscuits:
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup monk fruit sweetener
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
Filling and topping:
- 10 strawberries
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream cold
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
For the biscuits:
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, sour cream, vanilla, sweetener, and salt. Next mix in the almond flour and the baking powder.
Scoop four big mounds of dough on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet sheet.
Bake until golden, 15-18 minutes. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let cool. (I like to put mine on a plate and then in the freezer so they cool faster.)
For the filling and topping:
Slice the strawberries and set aside.
Place the whipping cream, vanilla and sweetener in a mixer and whip until the mixture turns into whipped cream. Make sure not to over whip!
Depending on how thick your biscuits turn out, you can slice them in half horizontally or just use one whole one for the top and one whole one for the bottom (this is what I did). Spoon about 1/4 cup or so of the whipped cream onto the bottom biscuit and then add some strawberry slices on top. Top with the second biscuit (or the other half of the biscuit if you cut yours). Do the same for the rest of the biscuits, whipped cream and strawberries!
Enjoy!
