Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup strawberries, cleaned, hulled, and thinly sliced
  • whipped cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 2 tablespoons cold coconut oil OR shortening
  • 2 tablespoons Whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large scoops vanilla bean ice cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees (F). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix the sliced strawberries with a 1/2 tablespoon of sugar and the lemon juice; set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar. Add the cold coconut oil or shortening into the dry ingredients and using your hands work it into the mixture quickly until it resembles a coarse meal. Add in the milk and sour cream and mix the dough with your hands just until combined. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a circle, patting it to about 1/2 inch in thickness.
  • Place biscuits on prepared pan and bake for about 10 minutes; or until golden brown. Let cool slightly, then top with ice cream, strawberries and whipped cream! Serve at once :)
