Ingredients

• Southern Tea Cakes: This is your golden ticket, the base of our entire operation! Imagine buttery, tender cookies that just melt in your mouth. Make sure you’ve got that recipe ready to roll.
• Heavy Whipping Cream: Talk about lush! This cream is going to get whipped up into a velvety, dreamy topping that’ll make your taste buds dance. It’s rich, it’s creamy, and it’s absolutely essential.
• Cornstarch: A little secret weapon to help stabilize our whipped cream. It’s like the trusty sidekick, making sure everything stays just perfect.
• Confectioner’s Sugar: Sweetness incoming! This powdered wonder will dissolve effortlessly into our whipped cream, giving it that sweet kiss without any grit.
• Pure Vanilla Extract: Oh, we’re bringing in the big guns now. A dash of vanilla is like a dash of magic, elevating the flavor and adding that aromatic charm.
• Fresh Strawberries: The crown jewel of our creation. These juicy, ripe strawberries are going to bring the zing, the freshness, and the ‘wow’ factor. Slice them up and let them shine!

How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Tea Cakes

• Kick things off by baking up a batch of Southern Tea Cakes. Follow that recipe closely and then let them cool down completely—they’re the star of the show, after all.
• Time to work on that whipped cream. Pour your heavy whipping cream into the mixer and let it rip on high speed until you see peaks starting to form.
• Slowly but surely, sprinkle in the cornstarch, confectioner’s sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract. Keep whipping until stiff peaks decide to make an appearance.
• Now, let’s get stacking! Pipe a generous dollop of whipped cream onto a tea cake, add a couple of strawberry slices, and then cap it off with another tea cake. Rinse and repeat, creating a tower of goodness that ends with whipped cream and a strawberry showcase on top.
• Aim for three cookies and two lavish layers of whipped cream and strawberries in each stack.

How to Store

• Keep Them Cool: Place the assembled Strawberry Shortcake Tea Cakes in the refrigerator. This will help to maintain the freshness of the whipped cream and prevent it from melting.
• Airtight is Right: If you have any unassembled components, like extra tea cakes or whipped cream, store them separately in airtight containers. This will help preserve their texture and taste.
• Short and Sweet: Enjoy your tea cakes within a day or two for the best experience. The fresher, the better, especially since the whipped cream and fresh strawberries are at their prime shortly after assembly.
