Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 shortcakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 ounces milk chocolate, roughly chopped
2 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raw or turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
1 quart strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered if large (about 3 cups) if large
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make the shortcakes: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until sandy. Add the chocolate. Whisk 1 egg, the cream and vanilla in a glass measuring cup; stir into the flour mixture with a fork to make a shaggy dough (there will be some dry bits). Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; pat flat until 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut into 6 rounds with a knife or cookie cutter, using the scraps for the last cake.
  • Place the rounds on the baking sheet; freeze for 20 minutes. Beat the remaining egg; brush onto the cakes and sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake until firm, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the toppings: Toss half of the strawberries with half of the sugar in a bowl; set aside. Place the other half of each in a saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, mashing with a fork to make a thick puree, about 10 minutes. Cool completely. Whip the cream with a mixer until medium peaks form; swirl in the strawberry puree.
  • Split the shortcakes in half. Layer some of the strawberry cream and reserved fruit on the bottoms; cover with the shortcake tops. Finish with more strawberry cream and the remaining berries.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings (12 pancakes)

Number Of Ingredients 16

One 10-ounce bag frozen strawberries (about 2 cups), thawed
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
6 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups finely chopped white chocolate (about 7 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two kitchen towels stacked on top of each other and place in the oven. This will keep your cooked pancakes warm.
  • For the sauce: Combine the strawberries, 1/3 cup of the sugar and the salt in a bowl and toss to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes, toss again and mash half the berries with a potato masher or fork; set aside. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar with 2 tablespoons water in a medium skillet and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Continue cooking and stirring until the syrup turns medium amber in color, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the strawberry mixture (it will bubble up). When the bubbling stops, return the pan to medium heat and continue cooking, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly and the caramel is completely dissolved, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and pour sauce into a serving bowl; keep warm.
  • For the pancakes: Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Whisk the milk, butter, eggs and vanilla together in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Ladle a 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, spreading it into a 5-inch round; repeat to make a second pancake. Cook until the pancakes are golden on the bottom and bubbly on top, about 45 seconds. Flip the pancakes and cook until the undersides are golden and batter is cooked through, about 30 seconds more. Transfer the pancakes to the baking sheet in the oven, tucking them between the kitchen towels. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more pancakes.
  • When ready to serve, stack 3 pancakes on each plate, layering 1 1/2 tablespoons white chocolate between each pancake and on top (you should have 4 stacks). Serve with warm Caramel Strawberry Sauce.

CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Categories     Bread     Berry     Chocolate     Dairy     Dessert     Bake     Strawberry     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

Sauce
2/3 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon brandy
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Biscuit
2 cups all purpose flour
5 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
Filling
2 pounds strawberries, hulled
5 tablespoons sugar
1 1/3 cups chilled whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For Sauce:
  • Combine cream and sugar in heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until mixture comes to boil. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and stir until chocolate melts and sauce is smooth. Mix in brandy and vanilla. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • For Biscuit:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 1 1/2- inch-high sides; dust with flour. Combine 2 cups flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl; whisk to blend. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add chopped chocolate. Gradually add 2/3 cup buttermilk, stirring with fork until dough forms.
  • Transfer dough to cake pan; press gently to level top. Brush dough with 2 tablespoons buttermilk, then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake biscuit until cooked through and golden on top, about 25 minutes. Cool biscuit in pan on rack (biscuit will be 1 to 1 1/2 inches high.)
  • For Filling:
  • Reserve 8 berries for garnish. Slice remaining berries into large bowl. Add 4 tablespoons sugar and toss to coat; let stand until berries begin to release juices, about 30 minutes. Combine whipping cream, vanilla and 1 tablespoon sugar in medium bowl. Whip to soft peaks. Cover and chill cream until ready to serve.
  • Rewarm sauce over low heat, stirring often. Cut around pan sides to loosen biscuit. Turn biscuit out onto work surface. Using long serrated knife, carefully cut biscuit in half horizontally. Using large spatula as aid, place biscuit bottom on platter. Spoon sliced berries with their juices over. Drizzle with some chocolate sauce. Spoon all but 1/2 cup whipped cream over; cover with biscuit top. Drop reserved whipped cream in dollops onto biscuit. Garnish with reserved whole strawberries. Cut into wedges and serve, passing remaining chocolate sauce separately.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • When making the shortcakes, be sure to not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough, dense shortcakes.
  • If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a drinking glass to cut out the shortcakes.
  • Bake the shortcakes until they are just golden brown. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly shortcakes.
  • Let the shortcakes cool completely before assembling the strawberry shortcakes.
  • For the whipped cream, be sure to use heavy cream. Light cream or milk will not whip up properly.
  • When whipping the cream, be sure to not overwhip it. Overwhipping will result in grainy, stiff cream.
  • To assemble the strawberry shortcakes, place a shortcake on a plate. Top with a scoop of whipped cream and then sliced strawberries. Repeat with the remaining shortcakes, whipped cream, and strawberries.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Caramel Strawberry Shortcakes are a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make these shortcakes at home that will impress your family and friends. Be sure to use fresh, ripe strawberries and not overmix the batter. Bake the shortcakes until they are just golden brown and let them cool completely before assembling. With a little effort, you can make these delicious shortcakes that everyone will love.
