Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake

January 12, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have been kind of all over the place when posting my weekly recaps, but your just going to have to wait until later this week for me to post it.  Instead I have a special treat to share with you.   First let me show you, then I will tell you all about it!!

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake

Isn’t it just the cutest looking strawberry shortcake?  This recipe belongs to  Chef Angela McKeller, an award-winning recipe writer, freelance recipe developer/tester, cookbook author, Frenchie enthusiast, adrenaline junkie, and avid foodie!   She has a new cookbook out on kindle and soon to be a hard copy called Gluten-Free Made Easy As 1,2,3: Essentials For Living A Gluten-Free Life.  I was asked if I would like to make one of the recipes for her upcoming cookbook, to give my opinion and show a photo of the Strawberry Shortcake that I made.  To my surprise she used my photo and put a little blurb about me in her cookbook!  I couldn’t believe it!  One of my photos and my name with my blog name is in an actual cookbook!!  This has been the biggest accomplishment in my blogging career so far.  I am truly honored and ecstatic!!!

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake


Your probably wondering if  I am now going to be gluten-free. Well I’m not, but it doesn’t mean I don’t like gluten-free foods.  I support all food groups whither your gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, meat-eater or a chocolate fanatic.  I love all foods and I am always willing to step out of my comfort zone to try new things and this recipe was sure new to me!!  But let me tell you, it is a fantastic recipe!  You know my Husband, the picky one, the one who won’t even try anything if he thinks he doesn’t like one of the ingredients.  Well I told him I was making Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake for a cookbook and he was like ewww!!!  Gluten Free!!!!  No thanks!   Then I gave it to him after all how could he not try one of these darling little shortcakes?  Well he couldn’t resist and you know what?  He ate 2 of them in one night!  He was shocked how good they were!  He even liked the coconut whip cream I put on top!

These shortcakes are light, fluffy and kind of reminds me a little bit of a sponge cake.  They are really easy to make too!!  Instead of traditional flour you use cornstarch.  I never used cornstarch in baking before and I was pleasantly surprised that it turned out!!  For the whip cream I used canned coconut!  All you do is place a can of full fat coconut into the refrigerator overnight, don’t shake it and the next day, carefully open the top and scoop out all the coconut meat, leaving the coconut juice for another use.  Beat the coconut meat with some vanilla extract and sugar if you’d like, until it is light and fluffy  Now you have coconut whip cream!  I love doing this!!  I will tell you though, it does have a coconut taste, so if you’re not a coconut fan, I don’t recommend the whip cream.  Plus these shortcakes are also good plain!  Hubby and I took just the shortcakes the next day for our lunches.

A light, fluffy gluten free shortcake filled with fresh strawberries marinated in a pinch of bourbon.
Serves: 12 Shortcakes
Ingredients
  • ½ cup GF butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon GF vanilla extract
  • 1 cup GF cornstarch
  • 1¼ teaspoons GF baking powder
  • pinch nutmeg
  • Strawberry Topping:
  • 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (I used ¼ cup)
  • 2 teaspoons bourbon (optional)
  • Whip topping (optional)
  • 1 (14 oz) can Coconut Milk (full fat)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan and set aside.
  3. Combine the strawberries, sugar, and bourbon in a bowl and stir well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  4. To make the cakes, cream the butter and sugar together until the butter appears dissolved, but feels gritty to the touch. Add the eggs one at a time, and beating well after each addition (important for fluffy cakes!), then add vanilla.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, baking powder, and nutmeg together. Set mixer to low, and add slowly to the creamed mixture. Mix until well blended, then fill each muffin cup half full.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the pan while still warm, using a butter knife to loosen the edges.
  7. When cool, top with a few teaspoons of strawberry topping and GF whipped cream or French Vanilla Ice Cream, if desired. Yum!
  8. To make coconut whip cream:
  9. Place the can in the refrigerator overnight.
  10. Open the can and scoop the thick, creamy white part off the top. Do not use the liquid, use that for another use.
  11. In a large bowl, whip the coconut cream and vanilla extract on high until medium/firm peaks form. Top onto shortcakes, and reserve the rest in the fridge for up to three days.

    This strawberry shortcake recipe sounds delicious – definitely need something lighter like this during spring time! I have been experimenting with strawberries too – a French Clafoutis (very similar to a souffle) for something sweet and not too heavy or rich: http://www.indigomemoirs.com/2013/04/15/strawberries-clafoutis/

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target. 
🐰
Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
