Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon Sugar
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Shredded coconut
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• 1 cup Fresh berries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
5. Stir in the shredded coconut.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
7. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out shortcakes from the dough. Place the shortcakes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shortcakes are golden brown.
9. Allow the shortcakes to cool slightly before serving.
10. To serve, split the shortcakes in half and fill them with whipped cream and fresh berries.
11. Enjoy!
