homemade dessert

Strawberry Shortcake is a simple yet impressive dessert that requires nothing but some fresh fruit and a few pantry staples.&nbsp;

Strawberry Shortcake

strawberries (2.99)

Tbsp sugar (0.04)

all-purpose flour (0.26)

salt (0.05)

tsp baking powder (0.16)

heavy whipping cream (1.85)

heavy whipping cream (0.92)

tsp vanilla extract (0.28)

Rinse the strawberries well, then remove the stems and leaves by scooping them out with a spoon. Slice the strawberries lengthwise into about four slices each. Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl, add 2 Tbsp sugar, stir, and set them aside. The sugar will draw out the juice from the strawberries as they sit and create a delicious strawberry syrup. Stir the strawberries occasionally as they sit.

Begin to preheat the oven to 400ºF for the biscuits. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl until they are very well combined.

Add the heavy whipping cream to the bowl with the flour and stir until a sticky dough forms and no dry flour remains on the bottom of the bowl.&nbsp;

Dust your hands with flour, then divide the dough into eight pieces, and roughly shape the pieces into circles, about an inch to an inch and a half thick. Place the shaped biscuits onto the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown on top.

While the biscuits are baking, prepare the vanilla whipped cream. Add the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla to a glass or metal bowl. Whisk vigorously by hand, or use a mixer, until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over whisk the cream, or it can break and separate.&nbsp;

Once the biscuits have baked, let them sit until they are cool enough to handle. Carefully slice the biscuits in half. Spoon some of the strawberries and strawberry syrup from the bottom of the bowl onto the bottom of each biscuit. Top with a large dollop of whipped cream, then the top half of the biscuit. Finish each stack off with one more dollop of whipped cream, a few strawberry slices, and a drizzle of the strawberry syrup.

This dessert is fluffy, sweet, and covered in fresh strawberries and cherry pie filling. On a bed of meringue, and topped with a sweetened whipped cream, marshmallow, and cream cheese mixture.

This homemade chocolate cream pie is rich, deliciously chocolatey, and topped with a sweet whipped cream topping that balances out the chocolate in a way that is a little dangerous. At least for me.

Once you’ve made this old fashioned chocolate pie recipe, there’ll be no going back! Sometimes you’ll make it just for yourself! It’s old-fashioned, velvety smooth, and decadently delicious.

Old Fashioned Chocolate Pie Recipe

Tbs all-purpose flour

salt

Tbs cocoa powder

oz heavy whipping cream

oz milk

Tbs unsalted butter

Vanilla flavoring

TBS fine grain sugar

Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

TBS Fine grain sugar

Vanilla

Mix the dry ingredients in a small bowl.

Separate three eggs and put the egg yolks in a medium saucepan. If you want to make meringue for your pie instead of whipped cream, put the egg whites in the mixing bowl you’ll use to make your meringue.

Whisk the egg yolks together in the saucepan, then add the liquid ingredients to the saucepan.

Whisk these ingredients together well. 

Cook over medium heat while using a long-handled wooden spoon to stir constantly until begins to boil.

Once the mixture reaches a low boil, add the dry ingredients to the pot. I whisk them to mix well and then go back to stirring with the wooden spoon.

Add the butter and continue to stir continuously.

Cook for 5 minutes or until desired thickness is reached. It needs to be thick like pudding.

When the filling is thickened, remove from heat and add 2-3 teaspoons of vanilla (I use 3 because we like vanilla)

Pour the filling into your prepared pie crust.If you are going to top with meringue, do that now.Once the meringue is cooked, let the pie cool on a cooling rack until the pie plate is not hot to the touch.

Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

If you are going to top with whipped cream:Cover with parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming on top of the pie while cooling.Let the pie cool on a cooling rack until the pie plate is not hot to the touch.  Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving

Whip the three egg whites on high-speed of an electric mixer using your whisk attachment until fluffy.

Reduce speed to low and slowly add the sugar one tablespoon at a time until all 3 Tablespoons are added.

Beat on low until the sugar is fully incorporated into the eggs (the graininess will be gone).

Return mixer to highest speed and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Spread the meringue over the freshly cooked pie and brown under your broiler. Remember to watch it carefully, meringue will brown and burn before you know it.

Instructions To Make Meringue

Put 1 cup heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl.

Using the whisk attachment, whip at the highest speed of your electric mixer until the cream begins to stiffen.

Gradually add 3 Tablespoons granulated or powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Store in refrigerator until ready to use. I put mine in a glass jar or bowl with a tight fitting lid.

You can make the whipped cream any flavor you like. For chocolate pie, we like vanilla flavoring. To flavor, just add 1 teaspoon flavoring to heavy whipping cream, after you’ve added the sugar, and beat as directed above.
