That poke cake also features strawberries in a dessert.
While this recipe is for a single sized serving, that poke cake is for an actual cake.
To make this recipe you will need biscuits. You can use regular store bought biscuits or you can find low carbohydrate and keto biscuit mixes here.
What you need to make strawberry shortcakes.
- Biscuits. You can make low carb biscuits using the recipe or biscuit mix of your choice. Regular biscuits will also work.
- Sugar free whipped topping. You can make your own sugar free whipped topping or purchase it at your local grocery store. However, you can usually find it in tubs in the freezer section.
- Strawberries. I prefer fresh strawberries in this recipe as I seem to always have them around. You can use the frozen kind but, make sure that they are close to room temperature and do not contain any added ingredients (such as sugar).
- Optional- toppings such as additional strawberries, other kinds of berries such as blueberries, or chopped nuts.
How to make Strawberry Shortcake.
- Prepare the biscuits as directed on the packaging. Allow the biscuits to fully cool after baking as this will make them easier to slice.
- Slice the cooled biscuits in half using a bread knife or similar item.
- For the strawberries, hull them and remove the stems. Then slice the strawberries to about ½" thick.
- Make your own whipped topping or have your store bought whipped topping uncovered and sitting out for a few minutes to soften up a bit.
- To put the shortcake together, place a dollop or two of the whipped topping on the bottom portion of the biscuit then place a layer of strawberries on top.
- Place the top of the biscuit on top and continue layering as desired before serving.

Tips for making the best strawberry shortcake.
This is a recipe that can be made ahead of time in parts. That means you can make the biscuits before you actually put the dessert together for serving.
More tips for you.
- While I am making biscuits for single servings, you can make this into a cake. Simply bake the biscuits in a baking pan, adjusting as needed for baking time.
- Using day-old biscuits is encouraged in this recipe. Biscuits that are too fresh may absorb the wet ingredients too quickly.
- Don't like biscuits? This recipe could also work using a sugar free yellow cake mix and and baking in a cupcake pan or similar pan.
- Can you use jam instead of strawberries? Yes, just make sure that you are using strawberry jam that has no added sugar.
- This recipe uses fresh strawberries. However, frozen ones can be used as long as there is nothing added, such as sugar, to the packaging.
How to store strawberry shortcake.
This recipe is really best when put together just before serving as the biscuits will get soggy if they are left too long assembled. If you do have leftovers, I would suggest that you store the parts of this separately if possible - strawberries refrigerated for up to five days, whipped topping according to manufacturer, and biscuits in an airtight container for up to a week refrigerated.
