Ingredients
- Shortcake biscuits
- 6-8, store-bought or homemade
- Fresh strawberries
- 2 cups, hulled and sliced
- Fresh pineapple
- 2 cups, peeled, cored, and diced
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons
- Whipped cream
- 1 cup, for topping
- Mint leaves
- fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If using homemade shortcake biscuits, prepare them according to your favorite recipe. For store-bought, slice the biscuits in half horizontally and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and heated through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple and sliced strawberries. Drizzle the honey over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat the fruit evenly.
- Once the shortcake biscuits have cooled, place the bottom halves on serving plates.
- Spoon a generous amount of the fruit mixture onto each biscuit half.
- Top the fruit with a dollop of whipped cream, allowing it to cascade over the sides.
- Carefully place the top halves of the biscuits on top of the whipped cream.
- Garnish each shortcake with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of fruity goodness!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider macerating the strawberries by sprinkling them with a little sugar and letting them sit for about 30 minutes before combining them with the pineapple.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetener option.
- Feel free to add a splash of vanilla extract to the whipped cream for an enhanced flavor.
