Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Two 5.3-ounce boxes shortbread cookies, placed in a resealable plastic bag and crushed with a rolling pin
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
½ cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅓ cup shortening
¾ cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine strawberries and sugar in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until serving.

Tips:

  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • If the dough is too sticky to roll out, add a little more flour.
  • Bake the shortcakes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Let the shortcakes cool completely before assembling the lush.
  • Use a variety of berries for the filling, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
  • Sweeten the filling to taste, but don't make it too sweet.
  • Chill the lush for at least 2 hours before serving.
