A simple, creamy frozen strawberry dessert with a rustic biscuit base that is perfect for summer. This refreshing treat combines tangy strawberries and whipped cream atop a crumbly biscuit crust for a delightful texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, cold
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Slowly pour in the cold milk and stir until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. Don’t overmix.
  4. Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  5. Transfer it to a greased 9-inch springform pan or press it evenly into your baking dish. Poke a few holes with a fork to prevent puffing.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and firm. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let them macerate for about 15 minutes.
  8. Using a hand or stand mixer, whip the chilled heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the macerated strawberries (with their juices) into the whipped cream.
  10. Pour the creamy strawberry mixture over the cooled biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  11. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until firm.
  12. Let the dessert sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before slicing to serve.

Notes

Keep butter cold when making the biscuit base to create flaky layers. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits. Whip cream to soft peaks only. Macerate strawberries to release natural sweetness. Poke holes in biscuit base before baking to prevent puffing. Use a warm knife to slice dessert cleanly. Cover dessert tightly when freezing to prevent freezer burn.
