Ingredients

  • 1 recipe Southern Tea Cakes
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions

  • Make Southern Tea Cakes according to the recipe. Set aside to cool completely.
  • For the Whipped Cream, add heavy whipping cream to your mixer bowl and mix on high speed.
  • When peaks begin to appear, slowly add in cornstarch, confectioner's sugar and vanilla extract and whip until stiff peaks are formed.
  • To assemble stacks, pipe whipped cream on one cookie then add two strawberry slices. Top strawberries with another tea cake then repeat process two more times ending with whipped cream and berries on top layer. There should be three cookies and two whipped cream/berry layers per stack. Enjoy!

Notes

  • 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.
  • Assembly Line: If you’re planning to enjoy these treats over a couple of days, consider storing the components separately and assembling them just before serving to maintain the perfect texture and flavor.
