Canned Biscuits For The Win
Any brand of biscuit will do for this recipe so I usually use what is on sale. I do like to use this Southern Homestyle Brand that says “Butter Tastin” from time to time.
These add a richness to the dessert that I just love. They truly are “Butter Tastin.”
Make Ahead Whipped Cream
This whipped cream is so magical. It can be made AHEAD of time which makes it so convenient.
Truth be told, it is so good sometimes I just eat it on its own. I do love to also add this as a topping on my overnight French toast recipe.
The whipped cream adds so much richness and decadence to this easy recipe.
Berry Season Is The Best
With strawberries almost in season it is a great time to make this decadent dessert. The simple step of macerating these strawberries brings out so much flavor.
If you aren’t familiar with macerating, it means softening or sweetening fruits or vegetables by soaking in a liquid. It is the perfect way to sweeten strawberries that aren’t as sweet or ripe as you would like them.
Whether served as a breakfast on its own or as dessert for a brunch party, this dish will wow your guests.

Instructions
To Make The Whipped Cream
To Make The Berries
- Wash and thinly slice your berries. When sliced you should have about 3 cups of strawberry slices. This is about 24 ounces of berries.
- Add the slices to a bowl and add the sugar and lemon juice.
- Refrigerate for minimum of four hours and up to eight hours.
Bake Your Biscuits
- Bake your biscuits according to the package directions.
- While the biscuits bake, melt your butter and whisk in the honey.
- When the biscuits are done, pull them from the oven and brush with the honey butter.

Assemble Your Dessert
- Split the biscuits in half and on the bottom half add a layer of whipped cream. About 2 tablespoons.
- Then using a slotted spoon, add some of the berries, as many as you like, making sure to drain some of the juices from the berries. *I reserve the juices to use on pancakes or waffles.
- Add another dollop of whipped cream on top. Then place the lid of the biscuit on top.
- Sift some powdered sugar on top and serve immediately !
