What Makes This Recipe Great
We’ve all been there: you’re craving that classic summer dessert, but the thought of kneading biscuit dough or baking a sponge cake feels like a marathon you didn’t train for.
Enter the Pie Crust Strawberry Shortcake. By swapping traditional biscuits for a flaky, buttery pie crust, you get a dessert that is lighter, crispier, and—best of all—incredibly fast. It’s the perfect “cheat code” for dinner parties or late-night cravings.
Ingredient List
- Pie Crust– store bought crust is what makes this recipe so quick and simple
- Strawberries– the combo of large and small pieces of strawberries works great for this recipe.
- Sugar– white sugar is truly the only thing that can be used in this recipe
- Whipping Cream– a quick toss in the mixer and you have homemade whipped cream
- Vanilla Extract– measure with your heart for the vanilla
Pro Tip
Want to take it up a notch? Try these presentation styles:
- The Napoleon: Layer three thin layers of crust with cream and berries in between for a high-end, stacked look.
- Shortcake Fries: Cut the pie dough into thin strips before baking. Serve them in a glass with a side of strawberry “salsa” and whipped cream dip.
- Ice Cream Sandwich: Swap the whipped cream for a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream while the crust is still slightly warm.
