Nothing says “I love you” more than a homemade dessert to share with your sweetie. Both of these recipes turned out SO well- I may have to make these for every special occasion from here on out!
First let’s make the vegan whipped topping so it can cool while we make the biscuits and strawberries.
Vegan Whipped Topping for Two
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup 8th Continent Vanilla soy milk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
Place 8th Continent Vanilla soymilk and 1/4 cup vegetable oil in blender. Blend at highest speed and slowly drizzle in remaining 3/4 cup vegetable oil. Blend in maple syrup. As you continue blending your whipped topping should thicken. Place in freezer to chill.
Strawberries!
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of strawberries
- 2 Tablespoons of sugar
Take about 4 cups of fresh strawberries. Cut off the top green leafy part and half the strawberries and put into a bowl. Add sugar and toss strawberries until equally covered. Cover the bowl and put in the fridge to chill for around 25-30 minutes.
Heart Shaped Shortcakes
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup and 2 T. white sugar
- 2 ½ t. baking powder
- ¼ t. salt
- 6 T. dairy-free soy margarine, cut into pieces
- ½ cup 8th Continent Soymilk (Any variety)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a food processor, mix together ¼ cup sugar, flour, baking powder and salt until well-mixed. Add the dairy-free soy margarine, pulsing until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. With the machine still running, add 8th Continent Soymilk gradually, until the dough just begins to hold together and pull away from the sides of the bowl.
On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and pat till flat. Take your heart shaped cookie cutter and cut out your biscuits and place on the parchment paper-covered cookie sheet. Sprinkle lightly with sugar and bake for 17-22 minutes. Keep watch of the biscuits and when you see the edges turn a golden brown, that is when to pull them out! Let biscuits cook on cookie sheet.
Remove the whipped topping from the freezer. Fetch the strawberries from the fridge. And to make it super romantic drop the strawberries into a large wine glass, add the whipped topping and the heart-shaped biscuit to top it off.
With this dessert you are bound to impress your sweetie pie! Are you planning anything special for Valentin’s Day? Let us know on Twitter or on Facebook! We promise we will keep it a secret.
