4th of July Strawberry Shortcake

-

In from Daisy, our resident foodie . . . add a little red, white and blue to your plate with this 4th of July pick!

The warm and sunny days of July means that a variety of fruits are plentiful and at their peak of flavor. One of my favorite summer fruits is the strawberryand I can’t think of a better way to showcase it than in a shortcake — a sweet, flaky biscuit topped with beautiful ripe berries & freshly-whipped cream.  In this recipe, crème fraiche is added to the whipped cream for a nutty and slightly tangy flavor to balance the sweetness of the strawberries.

For your 4th of July picnic . . . add some blueberries to this classic American dessert for a festive red, white, and blue twist!
