How to Make Strawberry Heaven
- In a large bowl, gently combine 2 cups hulled and sliced fresh strawberries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Let macerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator) to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
- While the strawberries macerate, prepare your shortcakes. You can use store-bought biscuits or make your own. If making your own, follow your favorite recipe.
- Once the shortcakes are baked and cooled slightly, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- To assemble, slice the shortcakes in half. Spoon a layer of the macerated strawberries onto the bottom half of each shortcake. Top with a dollop of whipped cream. Place the top half of the shortcake on the whipped cream.
- Garnish with extra strawberries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
