How to Make Diabetic Strawberry Shortcake

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Mash 2 cups fresh strawberries. Add ½ cup Splenda granular (or other sugar substitute) and mix well.
  3. Gently fold in the remaining 2 cups of sliced strawberries.
  4. Cover and refrigerate the strawberry mixture while you prepare the shortcakes.
  5. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) of your favorite sugar-free baking mix and ¼ cup Splenda granular (or other sugar substitute).
  6. Add ½ cup milk and ¼ cup sour cream to the dry ingredients.
  7. Mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each shortcake. Aim for 6 shortcakes.
  9. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  11. Carefully cut each shortcake in half horizontally. Layer the chilled strawberry mixture and your favorite sugar-free whipped topping between the shortcake halves.
