Kraft Kitchens Tips

Healthy Living

Save 30 calories and 5 g fat per serving by preparing with BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream, low-fat all-purpose baking mix and COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping.

Make Ahead

This dessert is best when assembled just before serving. But if you prep all the ingredients ahead of time, you can assemble it in just minutes! Bake the cake up to 24 hours ahead of time, then split the cake into layers after it is cooled and store in airtight container at room temperature. Toss the sliced berries with the sugar and refrigerate until ready to use. And refrigerate the COOL WHIP overnight to thaw.

Substitute

Substitute 2 pkg. (10 oz. each) frozen sliced strawberries, thawed, for the fresh strawberries.

The only change I would make is that if my strawberries are sweet I would eliminate putting sugar on them. There was too much juice even with straining and it made it fall apart. I was delicious though!

I made this yesterday for my family and I have to say it is amazing! My husband and I ate half of it alone! This recipe is so simple to make! I actually made all of the ingredients yesterday afternoon and assembled it last night. It is so tasty! I would definitely make this again!

I've made this recipe many times and my whole family loves it. The biscuit-like cake is easy and tasty, the filling is super yummy and the whole thing tastes decadent together. I use whipping cream sweetened with powdered sugar in place of cool whip and it works great.

I luved the cream part on this recipe; with jello, milk & cool whip. This goes so well with strawberries. But i & my bf didn't like the CAKE part at all.. So i'm saving the part of the recipe but not all. CAKE part was rather hard. I used all-purpose baking mix before to make a similar dessert and we didn't like that also, so i'm going to find other recipe for that but the cream part is Excellent! :-)

I have tried several strawberry shortcake recipes and this one is by far my favorite! Even my husband, who doesn't have a sweet tooth, gets excited when I make this.

The recipe says to us All-purpose baking mix. Is this like cake flour or is it a bisquick mix since you have indicated that it has a bisquick texture? I want to make this in 2 days.
