Instructions

Prep the shortcake components.

Bake the chocolate buttermilk biscuits and allow them to cool completely.
Wash the berries and dry them thoroughly before hulling and slicing them. Set aside.
Make the whipped cream, whipping to medium peaks. Set aside.

Assemble the strawberry shortcakes.

Slice each biscuit in half horizontally and place the bottom halves onto plates.
Top each biscuit half with sliced strawberries.
Top the strawberries with a generous spoonful of whipped cream. Place the biscuit tops atop the whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: Shortcakes should be assembled just before serving, and it's best to use freshly sliced strawberries and freshly whipped cream. Biscuits are best when freshly baked but will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
