Baileys Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake offers a new twist on a classic favorite, with a bonus. And who doesn’t love a chocolate covered strawberry? Think back on your favorite memory of strawberry shortcake. Then remember the first time you had a chocolate covered strawberry. That perfect taste of sweet and tart. Baileys Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake is a scrumptious combination of both desserts in one. Baileys Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake offers the ultimate taste of Irish Cream added to the sweet and tart, but on the lighter side. Bonus – it’s pretty too.

Start With

• 2 Quarts – Fresh Strawberries, hulled, washed and sliced.
• 1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar

Toss the strawberries in sugar and refrigerate.

Add

• English Biscuits, Angel Food Cake or Dessert Cups
• Chocolate Pudding Made with 2 parts Bailey’s Irish Cream and 1-part Milk.

English Biscuits Recipe

• 6 Tbls. Unsalted Butter
• 3/4 Cup of Ice-Cold Milk
• 1 Tbls. of *Baking Powder
• 2-4 Tbls of Sugar (too taste)
• 1 Teaspoon of Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla or Almond Extract

Traditional English Biscuits do not call for Baking Powder. They were created during the 19th century. It was a way to add fiber to the Victorian diet. The early recipe is still made today, and some call it a digestive biscuit. (I personally do not find that description appetizing, even considering my English heritage on my mom’s side). English Biscuits are traditionally flat and are served with a glaze, honey or sweet jellies, jams and fruit. They are frequently served at teatime. (Traditionally between 3:30 and 5 – before dinner). Hint – the colder the butter as well as the milk, the better for this recipe. *Only add the Baking Powder if you want fluffy biscuits.

Deviations

No time to bake – grab a store-bought Angel Food Cake, or dessert cups. Both will serve the purpose. Can you say – Culinary Delight?

Filling

• A Large Box of Instant Chocolate Pudding
• Add two cups of Baileys Irish Cream
• Add one cup of milk

Whisk until well blended, then refrigerate.

Notes:

Using homemade chocolate pudding or cook & serve pudding will reduce the alcohol and make the dish family friendly.

The entrée was Shepherd’s Pie.
